This is a wonderful and very sought-after original vintage poster issued in 1954 to promote France a a skiing destination.
The poster Winter Sports is designed by Bernard Villemot depicting a stylish rendering of skiers going down the mountain slopes on a sunny day with clear blue sky. Signed in the print in lower right.
Bernard Villemot known as one of the “painter-laureate of modern commercial art.” Villemot brought his swirling colors to brands like Orangina and Air France.
Wrinkles and edge wear from been rolled, more so at all lower corners. Wrinkles flattened when mounted on linen. Would look stunning framed hanging on a wall. An eye catcher for sure!
