Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is brightless in the original.
Due to the artist process, few corners of the posters located along the upper edge are slightly peeled off.
This work is in excellent condition.

Catalogue Note
Jacques Villeglé, Paris-Match 2 septembre 1961© Willy Rizzo
"L'affiche prend de l'interet lorsque son objet s'efface. L'image brouillée ou le mot déformé n'agit plus comme un signe, mais tel un phénomène de la logique de l'inconscient, comme indicatif subjectif, avec cette particuliarité (...) que l'esprit commence confusément, par inventer, alors qu'il cherche à comprendre et ne croit rien faire d'autre"
(Jacques Villeglé)
