Image & Science – Paris (2000) by André François

Created in 2000 by the celebrated French artist and illustrator André François (1915–2002), this original poster was designed for the exhibition Image & Science, organized in Paris by CNRS Images/média as part of the Rencontres Internationales de l’Audiovisuel Scientifique. The event explored the relationship between art, imagery, and scientific discovery, held from 24 September to 2 November 2000.

François’s imaginative design presents the Eiffel Tower entwined by a serpent, offering an apple to a woman — a clever reinterpretation of the story of Eve and the serpent, blending Parisian symbolism with themes of curiosity and knowledge. Executed in bold color and whimsical form, the composition reflects François’s unmistakable wit and visual intelligence.

Beautifully printed in serigraphy (silkscreen) by Michel Caza, one of France’s foremost master printers, this poster exhibits exceptional color saturation and fine detail.
