Original 1972 Olympic Games Munich Germany vintage sports poster

About the Item

Original Olympische Spiele Munchen 1972 vintage Olympic poster. Printed in 1969 for the 1972 Munich Olympics, this antique poster is archivally linen-backed in excellent condition, Grade A, ready to frame. The images shown are of the exact vintage poster you will receive. Printed in Germany. A Greek gladiator in a chariot and his horse are pulled into the air. Laurel leaves float in the sky above the ancient pillars. Various sports figures are represented as javelin throwers, swimmers, and runners who would have appeared at the early Greek Olympics. For the 1972 Munich Olympics, Lapicque created one of the official posters. This event marked the first time that the Olympics used a series of posters designed by different artists to represent the Games, showcasing a variety of artistic styles and interpretations of the Olympic spirit. The posters were part of an effort to emphasize the cultural and artistic dimensions of the Olympics alongside the athletic competitions. Charles Lapicque was a French painter and engraver associated with the modern art movement. He was known for his vibrant use of color and dynamic compositions. Lapicque's work often incorporated elements of Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism, and he played a significant role in the post-World War II art scene in France. Lapicque's poster stands out not only as a piece of Olympic memorabilia but also as a work of art that captures the essence of the Games through a modernist lens. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. #OlympicPosters #OlympicGames #originalposter #vintageposters

Original "BALLY" Shoe kinetic style vintage poster, 1981
By Jacques Auriac
Located in Spokane, WA
Original linen-backed small-format Bally women's shoe posters. The modern kinetic design of the shoes is represented by lines in different colors on a purple background. The poster does have a black outline around the image. The size is of the original poster and does not include the linen backing size in the measurements. The poster is undated, but all references indicate that this poster is from 1981. Artist: Jacques Auria (1922 - 2003) The poster is in very good condition but did have touch up work during linen backing along the bottom right corner and edge. Using bright, contrasting colors (such as pink, white, and purple) creates a visually engaging composition. The flowing lines and curves suggest motion, fitting for a Bally shoe vintage poster...
