Posters poitiers
Poitiers as seen by our artists: the town on its promontory, the bell towers and the old maps. Each poster is a personal reading of travel, hand-printed on 220 gsm art paper with an anti-glare satin finish in our workshop in Grasse.
Bien choisir votre affiche Poitiers
Which Poitiers poster should you choose?
Poitiers comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:
- Notre-Dame-la-Grande poster: the carved Romanesque facade, its arcading and archivolts.
- Poitiers map or city plan poster: the Clain, the plateau, the streets of the centre in line.
- Celestial Poitiers poster: the city set inside a circle, the spirit of an old chart and of astronomy.
- Saint-Jean baptistery poster: the oldest stone in the city, simple volumes.
- Black and white Poitiers poster: sculpture, shadow, contrasts without colour.
- Poitou and Poitiers poster: countryside, bell towers, a chalk and wheat palette.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang a Poitiers poster?
- Living room: the city in its circle, in a large size, alone above the sofa.
- Office: a plan or a circular composition, precise and calm beside the screen.
- Entrance: a Romanesque facade, recognisable from the door.
- Bedroom: a beige and grey palette, settled, with no hard contrast.
- Hallway: a series of three western French cities, same size and same frame.
Tip: a circular composition needs margin around it. Squeezed between two pieces of furniture, it loses its centre and the eye no longer knows where to settle.
Poitiers poster: landmark or graphic composition?
- The landmark holds the stone: a carved facade, arcading, capitals, visible material.
- The graphic composition holds the form: circle, line, symmetry, an abstract reading.
- In an entrance, the landmark names the city straight away.
- In an office or a pared-back interior, the composition fits without looking like a postcard.
Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?
All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on fine art paper, not on canvas or metal.
- With frame: black, white, oak or walnut, assembled and ready to hang.
- Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
