About the Item

Pierre Falize's circa 1930 poster, featuring the message "Otez l'Oeillère" (Remove the blinders), is a visually striking and thought-provoking artwork that transports us to a pivotal era in history. While Pierre Falize may not be a household name today, this poster's enduring message reminds us of the power of visual communication. The central image of the poster is compelling: a horse, with blinders tightly affixed, is front and center. The blinders restrict the horse's field of vision, allowing it to focus solely on the path ahead. However, the message "Otez l'Oeillère" encourages the removal of these blinders, symbolizing the liberation of vision and the embrace of a broader perspective. Historically, the 1930s were marked by significant societal changes and challenges. The imagery of the horse with blinders can be interpreted as a metaphor for individuals who were encouraged to broaden their horizons and see beyond their immediate circumstances. Pierre Falize's poster resonates with a timeless message about the importance of expanding one's worldview. It serves as a reminder that removing blinders—whether they are literal or metaphorical—can lead to a more enriched and enlightened existence. Today, this vintage poster remains a powerful symbol of the value of open-mindedness and the need to break free from self-imposed limitations. It encourages us to see the world with fresh eyes and embrace the opportunities that come with a broader perspective. Animals - Hippic - Sport Daude Frères - Paris
