About the Item
This original 1968 poster by French artist A. Saez celebrates one of the most iconic and exuberant events in southwestern France: the Fêtes de Bayonne. Designed in a striking mid-century graphic style, the composition bursts with color, energy, and festive spirit, perfectly capturing the vibe of the summer celebration held from 1st to 5th August 1968.
The poster features a dynamic, abstracted figure—boldly stylized with sweeping curves and a palette of red, blue, green, and yellow—waving a flag amid the joyous rhythm of the Basque festival. The background evokes Bayonne's gothic cathedral, festive architecture, and the signature waves of the region's colorful decorations. The character, dressed in traditional attire with a beret and bandana, is mid-dance, radiating a contagious sense of movement and joy.
A. Saez, little-known outside of regional circles, brings a Playful Modernist sensibility to this piece—blending folk charm with graphic clarity. The result is a poster that is both timeless and deeply of its time: evoking the optimistic design language of the 1960s while firmly rooting itself in Basque identity and celebration.
Perfect for lovers of vintage travel posters, Basque culture, or anyone drawn to mid-century European graphic design, this original lithograph is a joyous window into the heart of one of France’s most beloved local festivals.
