Le Roman d’un Tricheur was designed by Raymond Savignac and printed by Caza, Paris. This serigraph, measuring 30 × 38 inches (76.8 × 96.5 cm), was produced on heavy watercolor paper and is unlined.
The design references Sacha Guitry’s Le Roman d’un Tricheur, originally published in 1935 and adapted by Guitry into a film in 1936. Savignac’s composition interprets the title in his distinctive graphic style, using simplified forms and clear color areas.

Poster by Bernard Villemot for Bally, first created in 1989. This example is from a later printing in the 1990s. Known as Bally Kick or Bally Globe, the design was issued in both large and small formats. The present example is the smaller size, offset lithograph.
Bernard Villemot (1911–1989) was one of the leading French poster artists of the postwar period. His simplified forms and bold use of color made his designs instantly recognizable. Villemot worked extensively with Perrier, Orangina, and Bally, producing some of the most enduring advertising images of the 20th century. Bally Kick represents his late work for the Swiss shoe company.
