Description

Bally

By Bernard Villemot

Bernard Villemot was a renowned French graphic artist famous for his vibrant, stylized advertising posters, particularly for brands like Bally, Perrier, and Orangina. His distinctive use of bold colors and elegant silhouettes made his work iconic in mid-20th-century commercial art.

1979

Offset lithograph, vintage poster mounted on linen

17 1/5 × 24 1/2 in | 43.8 × 62.25 cm

From an unknown edition

Includes a Certificate of Authenticity

Bernard Villemot's Bally poster turns crossing legs and shoes into a bold arrangement of colour and silhouette. Orange and pale pink high heels overlap blue and ochre trouser shapes against a deep black ground. The long diagonals and sharply simplified contours create a sense of movement, allowing the footwear to become both the subject and the structure of the design.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.
