Yvon Laroche
1972 original poster for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montréal, Canada

1972

About the Item

This bold and dynamic 1972 original poster by Yvon Laroche was created as part of the official design campaign for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montréal, Canada. With its striking red background and fluid white graphic forms, the artwork captures the energy and motion of the Games in a visually captivating way. The abstract design, composed of intertwined loops and curves, echoes the movement of athletes in competition, possibly symbolizing elements of gymnastics, track and field, or cycling. At the top left corner, the official 1976 Montréal Olympics emblem by Georges Huel is displayed, reinforcing the poster’s connection to the event. The clean typography of "Montréal 1976" at the top adds to the modernist aesthetic. The use of red and white, inspired by the Canadian national colors, evokes a sense of patriotism and pride, while the fluid, almost calligraphic shapes lend the design a timeless and contemporary appeal. This poster is an iconic representation of Olympic spirit, movement, and artistic minimalism, making it a highly sought-after piece among collectors of sports memorabilia and graphic design history.
