27ème Trophée Lancôme – Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche (1996) Golf Poster by Henri Cueco
Created in 1996 by the French painter and illustrator Henri Cueco (1929–2017), this large and elegant golf poster was issued for the 27th Trophée Lancôme, one of France’s most prestigious professional golf tournaments. Held annually at the Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche near Paris, the Trophée Lancôme attracted many of the sport’s greatest international players from 1970 to 2003. Known for its refined layout, rolling fairways, and wooded landscape, Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche has long been a favorite among professionals and dignitaries, including visiting American presidents who have played there.
Henri Cueco—an acclaimed painter, writer, and co-founder of the Coopérative des Malassis artists’ collective—was known for his bold compositions and sharp sense of color. His design for the 1996 Trophée Lancôme reflects both artistic sophistication and the quiet focus of championship golf.
