About the Item
Bold, graphic, and unmistakably mid-century French, this original 1957 poster announces the "Tir aux pigeons artificiels" — or clay pigeon shooting — event for the Championnat du Sud-Ouest, organized by the Fédération Française de Tir aux Armes de Chasse. With a dynamic silhouette of a marksman caught in the act of firing and a clay target shattering mid-air, the poster captures the intensity and precision of competitive shooting sports.
Designed by Roland Ansieau, a prolific French poster artist known for his clean compositions and clear visual messaging, this piece exemplifies post-war graphic design in France. The bold color blocking, limited palette of earthy greens, ochres, and yellows, and strong use of silhouette reflect Ansieau’s practical yet stylish aesthetic, tailored for immediate public impact.
The text outlines two major regional shooting competitions: Fosse (Trap Shooting) held on June 2, 1957 in Bordeaux-Bacalan, and Skeet on June 10, 1957 in Mugron (Landes). It covers a wide region including Dordogne, Gers, Gironde, Landes, and more — showing how central this sport was in rural French culture of the time.
Much more than a sports announcement, this poster is a historical artifact from a time when shooting was both a competitive pastime and a deeply rooted cultural tradition in France. Ansieau’s poster immortalizes the energy and focus of the sport with a composition as precise as the event it advertises.
