Description from the seller
"Coffee Time" High-quality offset lithography on heavy, matte paper.
A spectacular and highly investment-worthy original fine art print titled Coffee Time (1986) by the acclaimed French master of the Atom Style (Style Atome) and Clear Line (Klare Lijn), Ted Benoît (1947–2016). This exceptionally rare art poster is a coveted early design release published in 1986 by the iconic avant-garde imprint Reporter Diffusion (Paris). The powerful, cinematic composition masterfully captures a cool, stylized 1950s modernist atmosphere: a man wearing sunglasses rests nonchalantly in a geometric blue armchair while a maid behind him trips, sending a coffee pot and cups flying through the air. Meticulously rendered via high-quality vintage offset lithography on heavy premium matte art stock, highlighting Benoît’s legendary architectural precision and flat, rich color planes. Features the artist's printed signature TED BENOÎT in the lower right corner, alongside official publisher typography within the lower margin. A rare and exceptional centerpiece for any serious modern design, pop art, or European comic heritage collection.
