About the Item
The May 1968 political poster titled "La police s'affiche aux beaux arts, Les beaux arts affichent dans la rue" encapsulates the fervor and social upheaval of the iconic May 1968 protests in France. This striking and provocative poster emerged as a powerful visual symbol of the student-led movements that challenged established norms.
The poster's title, translated as "The police display at the fine arts, The fine arts display in the street," reflects the confrontational relationship between the authorities and the artistic and student communities during the May 1968 events. The choice of words emphasizes a dual narrative: the intrusion of law enforcement into the realm of artistic expression and, conversely, the response of the artistic community taking to the streets in protest.
The juxtaposition of the police and fine arts in the poster reflects the broader tensions between authority and the counterculture movements that defined May 1968. The fine arts, traditionally associated with creativity and expression, became a focal point of resistance against perceived oppression and censorship.
This poster, like many others from the May 1968 protests, served as a form of grassroots communication, disseminating powerful messages to the public and rallying support for the various social and political causes of the time. Beyond its immediate impact, this poster remains an enduring symbol of the cultural and political shifts that characterized the May 1968 movements in France.

He produced a series of 16 colorful photo collages that were printed at Atelier Mourlot. These graphic works were executed using lithography, typography, and embossing with metallic inks.
