Gut ein Drittel davon sind: STILLLEBEN. Das erste entstand schon 1919/1920: "Stillleben mit Kaffeekanne". (Werknummer 12) Und kurz bevor ihm Anfang der 70er Jahre seine Augen den Dienst versagten, stand das "Stillleben mit braunem Topf und blauer Kanne" auf der Staffelei. Es trug die Werknummer 847.Radziwills "Stillleben" sind so still nicht. In ihnen verdichtet sich die Fülle des Wahrgenommenen, des Gesehenen und des - Geschauten. Hier: Das "Stillleben mit Petroleumlampe" von 1962 sammelt die Fülle dessen, was der Maler in diesem mit eigenen Möglichkeiten ausgestatteten Bereich schöpferischen Handelns niederschrieb. Oft spiegelt sich das, was unbeachtet am Rande steht: Ein Apfel, eine Zitrone, ein Korb, ein Krug, zwei Scheiben Brot, eine Petroleumlampe und eine Kerze. Zugleich ereignet sich dies vor einem Grün, das in alle Tiefen führt.Franz Radziwill hat ein handgeschriebenes Werkverzeichnis geführt. Dort erhielt diese Arbeit unter der Nummer 554 den Titel: "Unsere alte Lampe." (Abb.) Ein solcher Eintrag zeigt den ganzen Franz Radziwill: Er lässt den Betrachter ein in seine unmittelbare Nähe; sitzt mit ihm an einem Tisch nahe "unserer Lampe", umgeben von den Gegenständen eines vertrauten Alltags. Und dann ist da zugleich etwas "Unwirkliches", ja "Unheimliches". Es verbirgt sich, lauert als Bedrohung hinter den Dingen: Ein rätselhaftes Gebilde schlängelt sich aus der Nähe in eine andere schwarz-dunkle Dimension. Das Vertraute wandelt sich und entlässt jene Zeichen, die auf den "instabilen Untergrund" (Werner Haftmann) der Welt weisen. Franz Radziwill, der magische Realist. (Gerd Presler).

A 1922/156 (hier abweichende Angaben: Maße: 36 x 46cm; Bez. u.r.: DIX 2/18)Otto Dix gehört zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Künstlern des 20. Jahrhunderts und seine neusachlichen Werke aus den 1920er Jahren zu den begehrtesten auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt. Neben George Grosz und Max Beckmann hat Dix die Stilrichtung der Neuen Sachlichkeit weitestgehend mitgeprägt. Die Kriegserlebnisse des Ersten Weltkriegs werden für Dix Auslöser für seine sozialkritischen Bilder. Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand 1922 - dem Jahr als Otto Dix sein Studium als Meisterschüler von Heinrich Nauen und Wilhelm Herberholz an der Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie aufnahm und sich dort dem Kreis um die Förderin und Galeristin Johanna Ey ("Mutter Ey") anschließt.Das Aquarell zeigt deutlich eine um 1920 vollzogene Hinwendung zur zunehmend realistischen Malweise mit der Dix das Wahrhaftige widergeben möchte, schnörkellos und mit dem Mut zur Darstellung der hässlichen Seite des Menschen und des alltäglichen Lebens, ohne dabei in die Abstraktion zu verfallen, die er stets ablehnt. In schnellen und flüchtigen Strichen skizziert der Künstler eine dichte Kneipenszene. In einer engen Figurenstaffage sieht man links im Bild einen Mann am Tisch sitzend und daneben steht eine Frau. An der Theke sitzt ein Mann mit gesenktem Kopf. Im Hintergrund die Bardame und diverse nicht detailliert ausgeführte Figuren. Die Köpfe der Männer - hoch-rot akzentuiert - geben einen Hinweis darauf, schon länger hier zu sitzen. Obwohl eine Kneipe ein geselliger Ort sein sollte, wirken die Figuren hier im blau-braunen Dunst der Lokalität einsam und allein. Jeder für sich. Man scheint sich nicht für den anderen zu interessieren. Man ist beschäftigt mit sich und dem eigenen Leid. Die gewählte Farbpalette der wässrig ineinander verlaufenden Aquarellfarben verdichtet die Kneipen-Atmosphäre und verstärkt den Eindruck des individuellen Leids, dem man sich als Betrachter nicht entziehen kann.

Circa 1500-1540 AD. A 'hand and a half' or 'Bastard' sword, with ring guard, double-edged broad blade, lenticular in section, with single short shallow fuller, running up the first third of its length; the hilt is complex with spherical pommel (style G), the grip is elegantly wrapped with a later iron wire, the cross-guard (style 5) is broad towards the edges, where the iron quillons are ending with three small notches; the handle with a side guard together with the knuckle bow, showing two additional rings on the lower part of the hilt, bowing towards the flat undecorated blade. See Schneider, H., Waffen in Schweizerischen Landesmuseum, GriffWaffen I, Zurich,1980; Talhoffer, H., Medieval Combat: a Fifteenth-Century Illustrated Manual of Swordfighting and Close-Quarter Combat, by Rector, M. (ed."). London, 2000; Oakeshott, E., Sword in hand, London, 2001; Scalini, M., A bon droyt, spade di uomini liberi, cavalieri e santi, Milano, 2007. 1.3 kg, 1.05m (41 1/4"). From an important private family collection of arms and armour; acquired on the European art market in the 1980s, and thence by descent; believed originally from Liege, Belgium; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. By the second quarter of the 16th century, the long sword had become the 'Bastard' or 'hand and half sword', of which there are many beautiful surviving examples in excellent condition (Oakeshott, 2001, pp.137ff., figs.123-126), like the one here illustrated. The evolution of great and arming swords brought to the transformation of it in the Renaissance rapiers. The samples published by Oakeshott and kept in private collections, show how the developed hilt of the arming sword, which eventually become a rapier, was paralleled in the big 'bastard' swords. Held either in one or both hands, and also known as a ‘bastard’ sword, as its grip was not as long as a traditional two-handed sword, it can be dated to around 1500-1540 based on the decoration of its hilt. The three-notch ends of the crossbars (quillons) are quite flimsy while the finely spherical pommel recalls the swirling lobes that decorated contemporary flagons and candlestick stems. This appearance demonstrates a move away from the brutal simplicity of the medieval sword. The term 'bastard sword' was not, as supported by some scholars, a modern term, but already widely spread in the first half of 16th century. As a military weapon, it was kept in use by the Swiss for almost a century, with very few variations in shape, because it adhered perfectly to the organisational logic of the cantonal troops. So much so, that hundreds of specimens of this type are known, obviously with variations and best represented in the Swiss museums, especially in Zurich (Schneider, 1980, nn. 183-186, 190-195, 198, pp. 129-132, 134-136,138"). Many of them having complex hilts. This interesting piece belongs to the early period of diffusion of rapier in England. With all probability from a battlefield, a castle or a military site. The hilt and spatulate quillons and semi-basket guard for the knuckles is characteristically middle of the 16th century German. It was a long-term employed form, based on the shape of the swords used from horseback, hybridizing them with those of two-handed swords, thus defining an infantryman's sword, very effective against horsemen and pikemen. Its use, predominantly Germanic, involved training and a particular way of shielding, with guard positions, parades and lunges, all different from those of civilian side arms (Scalini, 2007, p.244"). Swords like this were among the most versatile weapons of the battlefield. It could be used one-handed on horseback, two-handed on foot; different techniques were used against armoured and unarmoured opponents; and the sword could even be turned around to deliver a powerful blow with the hilt. Mastery of the difficult physical skills of battle, was one of the chief attributes of the aristocrat. The art of combat was an essential part of a nobleman's education. Sigund Ringeck, a 15th-century fencing master, claimed knights should 'skilfully wield spear, sword, and dagger in a manly way.' These swords, gripped in both hands, were a potent weapon against armour before the development of firearms, but also continued to be used for long time after the diffusion of the guns and arquebuses on the European battlefield of XVI century. To fully appreciate the sword’s meaning for Ringeck as a sixteenth-century gentleman, it is important to understand its double role as both offensive weapon and costume accessory. As costume jewellery the decorative sword hilt flourished fully between 1580 and 1620. However, the seeds were sown long before. This ‘hand-and-a-half’ sword for use in foot combat carries an early sign of this development. No part of a medieval sword was made without both attack and defence in mind. Modern fencing encourages us to see the blade, in fact only the tip of the blade, as the sole attacking element of a sword and the hilt more as a control room and protector. Tight rules prevent the sword hand ever straying from the hilt and the spare hand from getting involved at all. This is a modern mistake. The fifteenth-century Fightbook published by the German fencing master, Hans Talhoffer, illustrates a more pragmatic approach as how two fashionably dressed men settle their differences using undecorated swords with thick diamond-section blades. The blades could be gripped as well as the hilt. The rounded pommels at the end of the grip, and at the ends to the quillons, not only balanced the swing of the sword but acted as hammerheads to deliver the ‘murder-stroke’. As soon as these elements ceased to be functional, they took on the role of adornment. This sword hints at the more decorative hilts produced later in the late 16th and 17th centuries. Swords themselves varied in weight and so did the crossguards. Also there are multiple different crossguards in this category, starting from simple ones with a single sidering or none at all to some complex 'baskets'. Fine condition. Rare.

14th-15th century AD. An iron long sword of Oakeshott's Type XVII with broad two-edged blade (5.6cm at the shoulder), double fuller extending 38.5cm along each face, wide rectangular-section tang tapering at the upper end, capped with a biconvex octagonal-section pommel; guard with tapering round-section quillons; stamped unidentified maker's mark to one face of the tang, a grid of six squares; the blade shortened to 58cm in length and the end squared. See J Oakeshott, R.E., The Archaeology of the weapons, London, 1960; Oakeshott, E., Sword in hand, London, 2001; cf. Oakeshott, E. Records of the Medieval Sword, Woodbridge, 1991, item XVII.7 for pommel. 1.4 kg, 81cm (32"). Property of a Suffolk collector; formerly acquired on the European art market in the 1990s; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato.The blade of the sword has been shortened from its expected length of around 75cm and the weapon has been described as an 'executioner's sword' on the basis of its altered profile. This sword belongs to the category which, in the Middle Ages, was referred as 'La Grant Espée d’Allemagne', or 'Great sword of Germany'(Oakeshott, 2001,p.90"). Oakeshott classified this type of swords as swords of type XVII (sub-category 7, 8 or 9"). Our sword is in fact, very similar to a sword recovered from the Lake of Neuchâtel (Oakeshott, 1991, p.165), but more similar to one in the British Museum, with identical pommel of type T2 (Oakeshott, 1960, p.314), the fuller of the blade and the cross-guard. In our specimen the point is missing, probably lost in action or cut deliberately. This suggests the possibility that the original fighting sword was transformed into an executioner's or justice sword, but it is improbable, as all the executioner's swords of late Middle Age have a flat blade without fuller and a round point. Another sword presenting similar characters is the one from Thames (Oakeshott, 1991, p.167), with a long ricasso below the hilt to enable the sword to be used for effective thrusting in close combat, while the left hand could be brought forward to grasp the blade below the cross, in order to shorten the length of the blade. Type XVII (Oakeshott, 1960, pl.16d) was perhaps the most frequently used sword during the period of 1370-1425. Its cross-section is usually hexagonal and very solid, sometimes with a very shallow fuller in its upper half. Many samples survive; perhaps the finest of them all is an example found in the River Cam, now in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge (Oakeshott, 1960, pl.16c"). Swords of this type all have the same bladeform, but considerably varied hilts, and examples have been found all over Europe. One which comes second only to the Cambridge example, with a similar blade but a different hilt was, in 1960, in a famous and very choice private collection in Denmark. This is the same sword as in the Hall of Victories at Alexandria, presumably a trophy, by the Mamluks. In 1426, the Mamluk Sultan Malik el Asraf Barsabay raided Cyprus, carrying off a number of swords which were duly inscribed, often more than ten years after their capture. Most of the surviving swords are from this time, being dated in the 1430s. Occasionally an actual date (in one instance A.H. 836 = A.D. 1432) was stamped upon them, but more often they bear simply a statement that they are the inalienable property of the Arsenal of Alexandria, together with the name of the Emir in charge of it at the time. As these people held the office only for very brief spells, it is usually possible to date the inscriptions quite accurately by the name. Most probably our specimen is from a battlefield or, most probably a river find. The piece is, notwithstanding the shortened blade, in excellent condition. With the type XVII, used between around 1360-1420, we see a sword designed for no other purpose than cracking into the plates of the armours. Type XVII always has a long hand-and-a-half grip, and a very stout blade of hexagonal section, occasionally with a shallow fuller, and often very heavy and always very rigid. The Type XVII was designed in an attempt to allow the sword some use against the increasingly prevalent plate armour of the period. In many ways, a Type XVII is more of an impact weapon designed to crack armour or provide blunt force trauma than a cutting weapon. The blade is long, stiff, and triangular in profile, with a hexagonal cross section – more of a very long spike with a handle, than a sword. The handle always with a hand-and-a-half grip. The mountings of the swords of type XVII may have lead Oakeshott to refer to such swords as a 'rather boring type'. Most samples seem to fall into two groups: the Sempach family of swords, so called because the two swords in this category belonged to two knights killed at the battle of Sempach, in 1386 AD. These swords possessed scent-stopped pommels of type T2 (like our specimen) but curved cross-guards of stile 1a (Oakeshott, 1960, p.323, fig.9"). Swords of the other group usually have oval pommels, wide, and crosses of either Style 1 or Style 6. A handful of other examples don't fit into either group; these typically have other forms of scent-stopper pommels or other forms of wheel pommels. Our sword seems a melée of different types, what it is perfectly conceivable. Very often, in the modern world, we think that the ancient objects were created in the shape they were discovered in, and that, except for some small modifications, they are preserved now in their original form. This is not correct, especially for the weapons used in battle: they were restored, repaired, details such as cross-guards and pommels were often changed, with later repair or additions, or transformations for different use. Although the sword was mainly the knightly weapon par excellence, its conception and use changed over centuries. During the period concerned here, the sword was a versatile weapon. From the 14th century onwards, the sword began to be used not just as a battlefield weapon, but also as a civilian weapon. Starting in Germany and then Italy, sword masters such as Johannes Liechtenauer (14th century) and Fiore dei Liberi (c. 1340s-1420s) trained students in the use of the sword, not on the battlefield but in the judicial duel against unarmoured and armoured opponents. This too required a sword that could both cut and thrust. Fine condition; blade shortened.

Late 17th century AD. A long Western two-handed executioner sword of German making; the pear-shaped pommel is mounted on the original still preserved wooden grip; the cross guard is straight, ending with straight quillons; the double edged blade is broad and flat, without fullers, having a round tip and a three holes for the blood at the point; the sword is marked on both sides: on one side there is a circle inside which a Christian monogram (chi-ro) cross is inscribed, supported by a short staff; on the other side there is the image of a gallows, both inlaid in copper.

From an important private family collection of arms and armour; acquired on the European art market in the 1980s, and thence by descent; believed originally from Liege, Belgium; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This Sword of Justice was employed for capital executions. The executioner sword was a symbolic and ‘facilitator’ of judicial law. Many courtrooms displayed executioner swords on their walls. Specimens similar to the sword here published are well known in public and private European collections (Fischer, 2004, cat.99 and 126"). The marks impressed on the blade are identical to a sample published by Fischer in the auction of 2004, having, like our specimen, a wide, flat, double-edged blade, marks, brass-plated wheel and gallows, with the adding of engraved scrolls and floral decor. A further similar model survives in the Medieval Crime Museum (Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum) in Germany. Such swords come at the tail end of the period in which swords were used in Europe for executions (a period from the 16th century to the 1720s. They feature similar characteristics: a long, heavy blade that ended not in a point but with a distinctive flat edge. The blades of the executioner’s swords were often decorated, and while in some cases the sword would be inscribed with the executioner’s name in other cases were put inscriptions like I spare no one – a brutal message for criminals (or poor victims or the state's reason) facing this sword’s edge. Sometimes the messages were more merciful, like in the case of a blade recently published by the Museum of the Artifacts, made in Germany in about 1600 AD: the inscriptions is saying: when I raise this sword, so i wish that this poor sinner will receive eternal life. The blades of executioner's swords were often decorated also with symbolic designs, showing instruments of execution or torture, or the Crucifixion of Christ (like in our specimen) combined with the moralistic inscriptions over mentioned. When no longer used for executions, an executioner's sword sometimes continued to be used as a ceremonial sword of justice, a symbol of judicial power. Recently, important samples of executioner's swords from Transilvania have been published by Anca Nitoi and Rozalinda Posea. Along with Sibiu and Cluj, the city of Brasov holds spectacular items with regards to late and early modern time executioner's swords. The three swords published by the Rumenian archaelogists ranges from the 16th to the XVIII century. The first two had a hilt very similar to the specimen here represented, and are considered by the authors as belonging to the Oakeshott sub-type XVIIIb of his sword's classification. Interesting are the three inscriptions on the blade of one of the XVI century sword: JESVS DIR LEB ICH, JESVS DIR STIRB ICH, DEIN BIN ICH TOT UND LEBENDING (Jesus for You I live; Jesus for You I die; I am Yours in life and in death"). The inscription confirms that in any case a sense of mercy was given to the condemned, letting him to repent of his sins until the end, even with a sort of blessing left on the blade destined to put end to his life. Most probably our specimen is coming from a palace as it is in such excellent condition. Executioners’ swords were more common in continental Europe from the 1400s, particularly Germany, with England still preferring the axe. The sword hilt was normally of conventional cruciform shape with a large counter-balancing pommel. It was very well constructed, with high-quality steel used for the manufacture of the blade. The blade edge was extremely sharp and it was a requirement of the executioner to keep it well honed so that the head of the victim could be severed in one mighty blow. Blades were broad and flat backed, with a rounded tip. These swords were intended for two-handed use, but were lacking a point, so that their overall length was typically that of a single-handed sword (ca. 80–90 cm (31–35 in)"). The quillons were quite short, and mainly straight, and the pommel was often pear-shaped (like in our specimen) or faceted. The sword was designed for cutting rather than thrusting, so a pointed tip (as in the case of military blades) was unnecessary. Differently from the arming sword and the double handed bastard sword of the late Renaissance and Baroque Age the tool of the executioner's sword was not designed for combat, instead being intended for the quick death – usually through decapitation – of the condemned. This weapon would not need to be combat worthy, but would still be capable of fulfilling its intended purpose. By the early 1700s swords were no longer used in Europe for executions, but they still functioned as symbols of power. However, the last executions by sword in Europe were carried out in Switzerland in 1867 and 1868, when Niklaus Emmenegger in Lucerne and Héli Freymond in Moudon were beheaded for murder. Swords are still used to carry out executions in Saudi Arabia. Fine condition. Very rare.

Extremely rare to find both papers together and in such good original condition. "Their importance in surgery, medicine and metallurgy is well known. Incomparably the most important aspect of Roentgen's experiments, however, is his discovery of matter in a new form, which has completely revolutionized the study of chemistry and physics. Laue and Braggs have used the X-rays to show us the atomic structure of crystals. Moseley has reconstructed the periodic table of elements. Becquerel was directly inspired by Roentgen's results to the investigation that discovered radio-activity. Finally J.J.

The style of the illumination and iconographical features allow us confidently to attribute its production to the workshop, or a close follower of the Maître de l'Échevinage, so named after a group of manuscripts he illuminated for the library of the Council of Aldermen (échevins) of Rouen, and now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. This highly esteemed and influential artist worked in the Norman town from 1450 to c.1485, and is also known as the Master of Latini Geneva, from a Brunetto Latini manuscript in the Geneva Library. The manuscript opens with the Calendar, in which the names of local saints are included - among others, Ansbertus (9th February), the patron of Rouen Romanus (23rd October), and Martialis (3rd July) - and further confirm its place of production. Each month is framed within an illuminated border containing vignettes representing the relevant sign of the zodiac and seasonal labours respectively. Landscapes and details are rendered with great care. Moreover, the manuscript contains 14 full-page miniatures, each introducing the traditional sections of the Book of Hours. The elaborate carved architectural structures or thrones, the draperies shaded in gold, and the landscapes visible beyond, with views of a walled town (possibly Rouen), are remarkable. The miniature opening the Gospel sequences (fol. 14r), which depicts all four evangelists, is particularly noteworthy. It departs from the standard iconography: while the four evangelists are normally all the same size, here the emphasis is placed on St. John, seated on Patmos island and in the act of writing on a scroll. Luke, Matthew, and Mark on the other hand are depicted in smaller marginal vignettes, and are represented in different activities: Luke writes, Matthew reads, and Mark examines the point of his pen. This unusual iconography is distinctive of the Échevinage Master, and is repeated - in slightly variant forms - by his followers. Other stylistic or iconographical characteristics are recognisable in the eight miniatures illustrating the Hours of the Virgin, and or in the macabre image of the Three Living and Three Dead introducing the Office of the Dead (fol. 72r), a set of prayers for the dead and dying. More specifically, the manuscript shows striking similarities with the MSS Walters 224 and 241 of the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore, both produced in the 1480s by a follower of the Échevinage Master. Occasionally customers paid for having special miniatures in their Book of Hours, usually one representing themselves kneeling before the Virgin or a particular saint. This is the case in this manuscript: the miniature on fol. 91r depicts its unknown patroness, dressed in a rose-madder robe and wearing a black headdress, kneeling before a seated Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. The manuscript is therefore the issue of female patronage, and the coats of arms on fol. 96v, which, in a certain sense, signs the manuscript, is also possibly related to the family of this woman.Text (for the use of Rouen):Fols. 2r-13v: Calendar, in French; fols. 14r-17vr: Gospel sequences; fols. 17r-19v: Obsecro te; fols 19v-22r: O Intemerata; fols. 23r-54r: Hours of the Virgin: Matins (fol. 24r: Lauds; fol. 31r: Prime; fol. 40r: Terce; fol. 43v: Sext; fol. 46r: None; fol. 48r: Vespers; fol. 50r: Compline; fol. 51v); fols. 54v-56v: Hours of the Holy Cross; fols. 57r-59v: Hours of the Holy Spirit; fols. 60r-71v: Seven Penitential Psalms, Litanies; fols. 72r-90v: Office of the Dead; fols. 91r-96v: Marian hymns (Fifteen Joys of the Virgins), in French.Illustration:Calendar.

THOMAS THORNYCROFT (1815-1885) QUEEN VICTORIA ON HORSEBACK bronze, dark brown patina, signed T. THORNYCROFT FECIT/ LONDON 1853 and inscribed ART UNION OF LONDON/ 1854 (Dimensions: 54cm high, 65cm wide approx.)(54cm high, 65cm wide approx.)Footnote: Note : Arriving at the Great Exhibition in 1851 visitors were met in the central courtyard by a larger-than-life plaster statue of Queen Victoria on horseback by Thomas Thornycroft. The composition, believed to be derived from an engraving of Victoria reviewing the troops at Chobham, was greatly admired by the sovereign and Prince Albert. Some critics however, felt this version, which showed Victoria in contemporary dress on her lively Arabian horse, too modern, with The Times reviewer going so far as to brand it ‘too anatomical’. Nevertheless, it was favoured by the Queen and used later with some alterations for a large bronze group to accompany an equestrian figure of Prince Albert outside St George’s Hall, Liverpool, completed in 1869. The Art Union of London commissioned Thornycroft to complete fifty statues in bronze, and awarded them as prizes between 1854 and 1859, of which the current lot is one. As part of the commission, he repositioned to horse’s legs, changing them from the plaster version shown at the Great Exhibition. Other examples are in the Royal Collection and the collection of the V&A. Thomas Thornycroft, the son of a farmer, spent four years as an apprentice to the Sculptor John Francis, marrying his daughter Mary, also a sculptor, in 1840. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1839 and 1874 and made numerous large commissions, including Boadicea and Her Daughters on the Western end of Westminster Bridge, and a marble group Commerce for the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gallery.

Original vintage advertising poster featuring a fantastic illustration by the notable French artist Bernard Villemot (1911-1989) designed for Point F Fourrures fashion company. Black and white artwork featuring an elegant young lady wearing a stylish black fur coat and hat with a square stone necklace and earrings and black shoes against a white background. Printed in France by Sentein, Montpellier, Imp. IPA. Bernard Villemot (1911, Trouville-sur-Mer – 1989) was a French graphic artist known primarily for his iconic advertising images for Orangina, Bally Shoe, Perrier, and Air France. He was known for a sharp artistic vision that was influenced by photography, and for his ability to distill an advertising message to a memorable image with simple, elegant lines and bold colors. From 1932–1934, he studied in Paris with artist Paul Colin, who was considered a master of Art Deco. From 1945–1946, Villemot prepared posters for the Red Cross. In the late 1940s, he also began a famous series of travel posters for Air France that would continue for decades. In 1949, Villemot's works were exhibited with those of his contemporary poster artist Raymond Savignac at the Gallery of Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1953, Villemot began designing logos and posters for the new soft drink Orangina, and over time these works would become some of his best known. In 1963, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris held an exhibition of his works. By the end of his life in 1989, he was known as one of the last great poster artists, and many collectors and critics consider him to be the "painter-laureate of modern commercial art." Since his death in 1989, his memorable images have been increasingly sought after by collectors. At least three books have been published that survey his art: "Les affiches de Villemot," by Jean-Francois Bazin (1985); "Villemot: l’affiche de A à Z," by Guillaume Villemot (2005); and "Embracing an icon: the posters of Bernard Villemot," by George H. Bon Salle (2015).Year of printing: 1983, country of printing: France, designer: Bernard Villemot, dimensions (cm): 82.5x119.5 (Horizontal). Fair condition, staining, creases and waving.
