Description from the seller
Very large format (110 cm x 70 cm) and a rare exemplar of the iconic poster "La Lutte Continue", emblematic of the events of May 1968 in France. This poster is a major historical testimony of the social and student movement.
This piece comes from the Atelier Populaire (former École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris), located at 17 quai Malaquais. It bears the school’s official stamp in the bottom right, guaranteeing its origin and its authenticity from the period.
The poster illustrates the union of workers and students with the listing of the main unions of the time at the bottom of the image: CGT, FO, CFDT, surmounted by the slogan "Tous en grève".
