About the Item

At the top of the composition, Marco presents a powerful image of a nun cradling a child, an emotional and compassionate symbol of the event’s purpose. Below, the tension of the bullring takes over: a matador confronts a charging bull in a dynamic, almost abstract rendering full of movement and energy. This bold juxtaposition between religious charity and public spectacle makes the poster both a compelling artwork and a historical document of its time. The corrida featured an impressive lineup of famed matadors, including Marcial Lalanda, Manuel Mejías "Bienvenida", Antonio Cañero, and Lorenzo Garza—some of the most renowned figures of the bullfighting world in the 1930s. Rendered in striking tones of earthy reds and cool blue-greys, the design speaks to the era’s graphic style while echoing the emotional contrasts of the event itself. It is a powerful example of how visual culture was used not just to advertise, but to inspire solidarity and collective action. More than just a poster, this piece is a window into a moment where art, tradition, and charity intersected on the sands of the Spanish bullring.

Loterie Nationale Original Vintage French Poster by Derouet Lesacq c1939
Located in Boca Raton, FL
This is one of a series of posters created for the Loterie Nationale (National Lottery) in France by a team of artists known as Derouet-Lesacq. In these posters, the element of simplicity is emphasized, allowing the artists to apply detail to the array of environments that these posters are set in. This Art Deco style poster is for a special Homemaking (Arts Menagers) lottery drawing. The man in the center of the image is shown lounging on a chair, presenting an unplugged chord, demonstrating comfort after his lottery win. The French Government promoted a nationwide lottery for many years, and during the 1930’s they commissioned artist Edgar Derouet to create many of their posters. Derouet realized his posters either alone or with one of his many collaborators. This poster is the result of a collaboration with Charles Lesacq, who worked with Derouet from 1938 to 1940. Edgar Derouet (1910-2001) is known for his simplistic, geometric and modern advertising posters for the French Lottery (Loterie Nationale). Derouet was selected by France to create a campaign for the Loterie Nationale because of his well-known reputation as a graphic artist. In his earlier days, Derouet studied with well-known poster artists Paul Colin and George Hamel, allowing him to further perfect his illustration technique. Derouet won an award for Best Poster of the Year in 1936 and was featured at the International Exposition in Paris, France in 1937. Charles Lesacq (1909-1940) was a French artist best known for his French National Lottery poster...
