"Standing Figure" by Roger Bissière is an abstract sculpture featuring geometric, elongated human forms. It reflects his focus on simplified shapes, volume, and structure, emphasizing abstract representation over realism. The piece showcases Bissière's approach to human figures through geometric abstraction.

Roger Bissière (1906–1982) was a French abstract painter and teacher. Initially influenced by Cubism and Surrealism, he later developed a unique abstract style blending geometric shapes with organic forms and rich colors. He was an important figure in the French abstract movement and taught at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. Bissière's work bridged early 20th-century avant-garde and post-war European abstraction.

What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.

These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
