About the Item

The 1950 original poster by P. E. Clairin for the Quinzaine de Saint-Germain-des-Prés: Carrefour des Lettres et des Arts is a cultural emblem of post-war Paris. This poster was created to promote a two-week festival celebrating Saint-Germain-des-Prés as a vibrant hub for literature, art, and intellectual life. During this time, the neighborhood was renowned for its bohemian lifestyle and as a meeting place for artists, writers, and philosophers. The Quinzaine de Saint-Germain-des-Prés aimed to spotlight the district's rich artistic heritage, drawing attention to its cafés, galleries, and performance spaces where creativity flourished. The festival united various forms of art, from literature to visual arts and music, emphasizing the role of Saint-Germain-des-Prés as a cultural crossroads. P. E. Clairin’s poster effectively captured the spirit of this artistic celebration. It not only served as an advertisement but also became an iconic representation of Parisian intellectual and artistic life during the mid-20th century. Today, the poster remains a cherished artifact, reflecting the post-war cultural revival and the enduring legacy of one of Paris's most celebrated neighborhoods.
