About the Item

The 1965 original political poster by Lefor Openo titled J'ai 7 ans, laissez-moi grandir is a poignant and evocative call for peace and humanity. Created during a time of global unrest, this poster became a symbol of the anti-war sentiment and advocacy for children's rights, capturing the innocence of youth amidst the shadows of conflict and political turmoil. The phrase "J'ai 7 ans, laissez-moi grandir" ("I am 7 years old, let me grow up") conveys a powerful plea, likely reflecting the concerns over wars that disrupted countless lives during the mid-20th century. The message highlights the universal desire to protect future generations from the ravages of war, allowing them to grow in peace and security. Lefor Openo, a creative duo known for their impactful and visually striking designs, skillfully used this poster to combine a simple yet emotional appeal with a broader political critique. Their work often carried a distinctive sense of humanity and clarity, making their designs resonate widely with the public. Today, J'ai 7 ans, laissez-moi grandir stands as a timeless reminder of the need to shield children from violence and to prioritize their right to a peaceful and hopeful future. It continues to be celebrated as an iconic piece of political art and a testament to the power of visual communication in promoting change. Original poster Politics - Childhood - Fifth Republic S.A.
