Woman On Blue - Small - Villemot

This original vintage poster by Bernard Villemot presents a striking, minimalist study of the female form, rendered with the artist’s characteristic economy of line and bold use of color. Against a deep, textured blue background, a stylized nude figure is shown in a tightly folded pose, her dark hair and expressive eyes creating a strong contrast with the soft contour of her body. The composition is at once sensual and restrained, a refined example of Villemot’s ability to reduce form to its essence while retaining emotion, elegance, and personality. Although this image is believed to have been created for an exhibition, the exact date and purpose remain undocumented, adding an element of intrigue to the work.Bernard Villemot (1911–1989) was one of France’s foremost poster artists of the mid-20th century. A student of Paul Colin, Villemot developed a visual language defined by clean lines, luminous color, and an ability to distill a subject into a single unforgettable graphic statement. His posters for Orangina, Perrier, Air France, Bally, and countless cultural events helped shape the visual identity of postwar European advertising. Today, Villemot’s work is celebrated for its timeless elegance and sophistication, and his posters are widely collected as icons of modern graphic design.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
