All the posters by the French designer Bernard Villemot are characterised by strong colours and shapes as well as a charming and graceful style. His poster series for Bally was ubiquitous and hard to overlook on the streets of Paris in the 1970s and 1980s. It is without a doubt one of the masterpieces of French poster art of the last fifty years.
