About the Item

The 1968 Grand Prix d'Allemagne pour Moto-Cyclettes poster, designed by artist Van Husen, captures the electrifying energy of one of the most iconic motorsport events held at the Nürburgring, Germany. Known for his dynamic and expressive illustrations, Van Husen delivers a piece that encapsulates the speed, intensity, and thrill of competitive racing. His use of bold strokes and striking contrasts brings the scene to life, making it a powerful visual representation of high-octane motorsport. The poster’s central composition features racers leaning into a dramatic curve, with a focus on both motorcycle and Formula 2 cars as they speed around the track. The angle of the illustration immerses viewers into the experience, placing them close to the action as riders and drivers push their machines to the limit. The design prominently displays a racing scoreboard on the left, featuring the classic Dunlop branding, grounding the event in the real-world track environment and adding an authentic racing detail. This combination of realism and artistic exaggeration gives the poster a sense of immediacy and motion. Set against a vivid, energetic backdrop, the figures are painted in tones of red, black, and silver, enhancing the poster’s adrenaline-filled aesthetic. The riders, dressed in helmets and goggles, are depicted with an intense focus, mirroring the skill and precision required in such high-speed competitions. Van Husen’s brushwork emphasizes the spray of dust and gravel kicked up by the tires, adding another layer of realism and excitement to the scene. Text details, including the event title, date, and location—Nürburgring, April 20-21, 1968—are presented in bold, modern typography, complementing the illustration’s dynamic layout. The information is laid out clearly, allowing potential attendees to quickly absorb essential details. This includes the race times, entry prices, and other specifics about the championship, underscoring the poster’s dual function as both a work of art and an informational piece. The Grand Prix d'Allemagne pour Moto-Cyclettes was an important event in the 1968 racing calendar, part of both the World and German Championship circuits. Held on Nürburgring’s challenging Südschleife (South Loop), the race tested the limits of both riders and machines, making it a favorite among motorsport enthusiasts. Van Husen’s poster not only promoted this event but also captured its spirit, embodying the thrill of high-speed racing and the skill involved in mastering the Nürburgring’s complex turns. Today, this poster remains a sought-after collectible among vintage motorsport enthusiasts and art collectors, valued for its unique artistic style and its nostalgic portrayal of classic Grand Prix racing. It’s a piece that celebrates the legacy of the Nürburgring and the exhilarating world of motorcycle and car racing in the 1960s. Original Poster Automotive - Sport Nurburgring - Adac Bastian
