About the Item
The 1973 Festival du Marais poster, designed by renowned artist Jean Dewasne, is a striking example of modernist graphic design that captures the spirit of artistic and cultural celebration. Created for the annual festival held in the historic Marais district of Paris, this poster stands out with its bold abstraction and vibrant color palette.
Jean Dewasne, a pioneer of geometric abstraction and an influential figure in post-war art, applied his mastery of form and color to this work. The composition features interlocking geometric shapes in bold hues of red, green, blue, and black. These shapes, dynamic yet harmoniously balanced, evoke a sense of movement and energy, reflecting the vibrant cultural activities of the festival. Dewasne’s precision and use of symmetry underscore his commitment to the principles of abstract art, while the overlapping forms suggest unity and interconnectedness—concepts that resonate with the festival’s celebration of diverse artistic expressions.
The poster’s typography is minimal and modern, with the title “Festival du Marais” prominently displayed at the top in a clean sans-serif font. The dates, "13 juin - 13 juillet 1973," and location details below are presented with clarity, ensuring that the essential information is easily accessible. The choice of bold blue lettering contrasts with the vivid colors of the artwork, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design.
The Festival du Marais, held annually in the historic heart of Paris, was a celebration of music, theater, and visual arts, aimed at revitalizing the cultural significance of the district. This poster not only advertised the event but also encapsulated its ethos of innovation and artistic excellence. Dewasne’s design reflects the modernity of the 1970s while paying homage to the festival's roots in preserving and promoting cultural heritage.
Today, this poster is highly valued by collectors of modern art and graphic design. It exemplifies Dewasne’s artistic vision and serves as a reminder of the intersection between fine art and graphic communication during the mid-20th century. As a piece of cultural history, it celebrates the enduring legacy of the Festival du Marais and its role in enriching Parisian culture.

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design.
Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents.
The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design.
A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
