About the Item

The 1978 "Paris-Berlin: Rapports et Contrastes" exhibition poster by Roman Cieslewicz was created for a major retrospective held at the Centre Georges Pompidou. This exhibition, subtitled France-Allemagne 1900-1933, explored the artistic and cultural exchanges between the two European capitals during the early 20th century—a period of profound transformation and creative experimentation. Cieslewicz, a renowned Polish-French graphic designer, was known for his bold, avant-garde approach to visual communication. His poster for the exhibition captures the dynamism and contrasts that defined the artistic landscapes of Paris and Berlin during this era, reflecting movements such as Cubism, Expressionism, Dada, Bauhaus, and Surrealism. The exhibition itself examined how these movements evolved within the socio-political climates of both nations, highlighting their points of convergence and divergence. Held at one of France’s most important cultural institutions, Paris-Berlin: Rapports et Contrastes was a landmark event that offered a deep exploration of modernism, artistic revolutions, and the visual languages that shaped the early 20th century. Cieslewicz’s striking design remains a testament to his mastery of montage and typographic composition, reinforcing the historical and artistic significance of this cross-cultural dialogue.

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...
