ORIGINAL circa 1975 poster by Samivel created to celebrate and promote the Parc National de la Vanoise, one of France’s most iconic alpine preserves located in the Alpes de Savoie. The work captures both the grandeur of the high mountain landscape and the quiet intimacy of alpine wildlife, embodied here by a serene family of marmots. Renowned for his poetic sensitivity to nature, Samivel—a writer, artist, and mountaineer—brings a gentle, quality to the poster. The background features a majestic snow-capped summit partially shrouded in mist, a subtle tribute to the untouched wilderness of the Vanoise range. In the foreground, three marmots rest on a flowery knoll, surrounded by delicate alpine flora. The composition is simple yet evocative, exuding both reverence and tenderness. Samivel’s style is unmistakable: clean lines, soft gradations of color, and a profound sense of stillness. He was not just a graphic artist but also a passionate environmentalist, and his work for French national parks helped cultivate public appreciation for nature’s quiet beauty” Printed by the Éditions Paul Leclerc Condition : A-.
