Vintage European Racing Posters

Here's a great collection of these posters:

I'd love to try blowing one up and painting it on my garage wall, as most of them are simple blocks of colour, no fancy shading.

Scale it up, using that grid pattern technique, should be easy enough......

 

I love finding old French magazines , they just seem to have the style down on all the ads

 

These posters are proof positive that art imitates life,the illusion of speed at a time when illustrators & graphic artist portrayed the excitement of the upcoming races. HRP
