About the Item
Title: French Mid 20th Century Exhibition Poster Study for WWII Normandy Landings
by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977)
Medium: Watercolor and ink on unframed paper
Size: 19.75 inches (height) x 25.5 inches (width)
Condition: As is normal with unframed works on paper there are some minor old creases or paper edge curls/ tears - all of which should be covered over or smoothed out once framed; generally very good and sound.
Provenance: as with all the works we have by this artist, it has come from the artists estate in France.
Description: This rare and historically resonant piece by Anne Marie Migette Perard is a hand-painted exhibition poster study commemorating the Débarquement—the D-Day landings of World War II. Titled Exposition sur le Débarquement, this draft appears to have been created for a local or regional tourism office (Pavillon du Tourisme) for an event running from 24 May to 3 July.
Rendered in expressive watercolor and ink, the piece features bold text, explosive orange and yellow bursts symbolizing the intensity of battle, and the Cross of Lorraine—a widely recognized emblem of Free France and French resistance during the war. The backdrop suggests the beaches of Normandy, blending into a sky of smoke and movement.
This work is likely an original design proposal or exhibition concept piece, making it a unique find for collectors of WWII memorabilia, French graphic design history, and commemorative art. It reflects not only the memory of one of the most pivotal moments in 20th-century history, but also how regional artists engaged in honoring national identity and remembrance through visual storytelling.
