Images Internationales pour les Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen (1989) Original Poster by Raymond Savignac
Original 1989 poster by Raymond Savignac (1907–2002) created for Images Internationales pour les Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen, a set of international posters commissioned for the bicentennial of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen. The series, printed by Artis 89 in Paris, invited well-known artists to design images celebrating the 200th anniversary of human rights.
Savignac’s design shows a figure resembling Marianne or a revolutionary messenger wearing the red Phrygian cap of liberty, flying through the clouds in the form of a dove — a symbol of peace and the ideals of the French Revolution. The poster humorously and simply connects the revolution’s iconography with the universal theme of human rights.

Images Internationales pour les Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen – Roland Topor (1989)
This original 1989 poster by Roland Topor (1938–1997), titled Droit à la Paresse (The Right to Laziness), was created for Images Internationales pour les Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen, an international poster series published by Artis 89 in Paris to commemorate the bicentennial of the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
Topor’s design is among the most provocative and imaginative in the collection. Known for his surreal and darkly humorous vision, he transforms the concept of “the right to laziness” into a satirical reflection on modern society’s obsession with labor, productivity, and control. The title echoes Paul Lafargue’s famous 1880 essay Le Droit à la Paresse, a socialist critique of work under capitalism. Topor’s visual interpretation connects that idea to the enduring struggle for human dignity and personal freedom.
Printed by Imprimerie Marchand and published by Artis 89, this poster was part of the landmark collaboration uniting 66 international artists and designers. Examples of this particular work are held in the collections of the Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), underscoring its importance in late 20th-century graphic art.

Images Internationales pour les Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen – Seymour Chwast (1989)
This original 1989 poster by Seymour Chwast (b. 1931) was created for Images Internationales pour les Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen, an international series published by Artis 89 in Paris to commemorate the bicentennial of the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
Chwast’s bold and conceptual image features the scattered letters of the word “LIBERTY,” symbolizing one of the Declaration’s central ideals. The fragmented typography reflects both the fragility and resilience of freedom—a theme that continues to resonate in contemporary culture. Printed by Imprimerie Marchand, this poster exemplifies Chwast’s distinctive visual language: witty, graphic, and socially engaged.
A founding member of Push Pin Studios (with Milton Glaser, Edward Sorel, and Reynold Ruffins), Chwast helped redefine modern illustration and poster design through a unique blend of playfulness and commentary. His contribution to the Artis 89 series stands as a statement of artistic liberty and human dignity.

Odalisque #2, workshop proof silkscreen by Jean Tinguely, produced in 1989. This impression is unsigned and unnumbered, issued as a proof. The printing was carried out by Caza Imprimerie in Paris, using Canson Arches watercolor paper and black ink of very high quality.
Jean Tinguely was a Swiss artist recognized for his kinetic sculptures and his extension of the Dada tradition into the late 20th century. His mechanical constructions satirized modern industrial culture and often incorporated movement, sound, and elements of chance. Tinguely’s work was exhibited internationally during his lifetime, with major installations at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Tate (London), and other institutions.
This silkscreen represents his graphic work from the late 1980s and illustrates the playful, energetic line characteristic of his art.
