Original poster for the 1994 Nice Jazz Festival, created by the French artist Razzia. The festival was held at the Arènes de Cimiez, the Roman amphitheatre above Nice that has long served as a cultural venue.
Razzia (b. 1950) is known for his bold graphic style and for producing posters directly from his painted works. Since the 1980s he has been one of the few contemporary artists to maintain the tradition of the artistic poster, working for clients such as Louis Vuitton, Cointreau, and major cultural events. His association with the Nice Jazz Festival produced some of the most recognizable jazz imagery of the period.
This large-format serigraph was printed for the Ville de Nice in connection with the 1994 edition of the festival. It is the first printing, in excellent condition.
