France - Saint Remy en Provence

This vivid poster by Roger Bezombes presents an expressive, color-saturated vision of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, capturing the intensity of light and atmosphere that has long inspired artists drawn to the region. The image conveys warmth, rhythm, and emotional depth rather than literal detail, evoking the sensory experience of Provence.Created as part of a French tourism promotion, the poster reflects a modern artistic approach to travel advertising. Bezombes transforms the village into a dynamic visual impression, suggesting the color, heat, and creative vitality of southern France. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence holds a special place in art history as the town where Vincent van Gogh spent time in 1889 while living at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum. During his stay, Van Gogh produced some of his most celebrated works, including scenes of olive groves, cypress trees, and swirling Provençal skies. This enduring association with Van Gogh has made Saint-Rémy a symbol of artistic reflection and creative renewal, a legacy subtly echoed in Bezombes’ expressive use of color and form.Roger Bezombes (1913–1994) was a French painter, illustrator, and poster artist associated with postwar modernism. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he worked across painting, tapestry, ceramics, and graphic design. Known for his bold palette and lyrical abstraction, Bezombes sought to convey emotion and movement through color, bridging fine art and public visual culture in his posters and decorative works.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
