In 1959, Constantin Belinsky designed the lively "Skiing in France" poster, commissioned by the French Ministry of Public Works, Transport, and Tourism to promote winter sports.
The poster features a stylized skier in mid-motion, adorned in a colorful outfit that captures the dynamism of skiing.
Belinsky employed bold and contrasting colors, including shades of blue, red, and white, to evoke the crispness of the snowy landscape and the energy of the sport.
The text "Skiing in France" is prominently displayed, utilizing clean and modern typography that complements the overall design.
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 or stained. 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 vintage charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
