Herve Morvan Art

1917-1980
The clarity of his designs, the uncluttered compositions, the subtle use of texture and the unique sense of humour that comes through in his images. Not to mention the simple, sophisticated, bright colours that are always inventively used. French painter. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics. French poster and advertising artist Hervé Morvan became well-known for his advertising poster for Perrier in 1950. Thereafter he drew increasing attention from his following works for Vittel, Evian, Danone, and Esso. He created several advertising posters for kids, food/drink, household, fashion, travel, campaigns, alcohol, cigarettes, film and music, and greeting cards. Morvan’s posters emphasized colorful, cute, and adorable characters. Morvan was a friend of Raymond Savignac, who also had a playful style that hints at Morvan’s own. The two French artists knew each other and were influenced by the other’s style, though they competed in their fields. Like other poster artists of this period (Villemot and Savignac), Morvan was inspired by the work of Cassandre, Loupot, and Carlu.

Today this original poster is difficult to find; especially in great condition. No tears, clean edges, bright colors, fine condition poster over 50 years old. This modern housewife now had the advantage of having a new Bendix washing machine that is swirling the clothes out of the machine showing the speed of this time savings appliance. The clothes seem to gain speed and turn into arrows and they spin back to this housewife. A fun and bright horizontal original French antique poster...

Circa 1960 Billecart Champagne Advertising Poster by Hervé Morvan
Circa 1960 Billecart Champagne Advertising Poster by Hervé Morvan

Circa 1960 Billecart Champagne Advertising Poster by Hervé Morvan

By Herve Morvan 1

Located in PARIS, FR

This lively circa 1960 advertising poster by Hervé Morvan for Billecart Champagne is a striking example of French mid-century commercial illustration at its most playful and elegant. Set against a bold red background, the composition features a joyful black-clad figure riding an oversized champagne bottle as it sprays sparkling foam into a waiting glass. The image perfectly captures the festive energy associated with champagne while embracing the humor and graphic simplicity that made Morvan one of France’s most celebrated poster artists. The slogan, “Le Champagne qui franchit les siècles” (“The champagne that crosses the centuries”), highlights the historic prestige and enduring reputation of the Billecart champagne house. Morvan translates this idea visually through a composition that feels timeless yet unmistakably modern, combining bright flat colors, exaggerated movement, and witty visual storytelling. Hervé Morvan became famous in postwar France for his cheerful and highly recognizable advertising imagery. His posters often relied on humor, minimal forms, and strong color contrasts to create instantly memorable visuals. Working during the golden age of illustrated advertising posters, Morvan helped define the visual culture of French consumer advertising in the 1950s and 1960s. The poster also reflects the broader optimism and celebratory atmosphere of postwar France, when champagne advertising...
