Paris 1924 Summer Olympics Original Poster by Jean Droit Exceedingly rare original color 31.25 x 46.5 lithographic poster designed by French artist Jean Droit for the Paris 1924 Summer Olympics. Printed by Machard & Cie, the poster depicts a group of male athletes with their arms raised in salute against a background of France’s national flag, with laurel branches and a shield featuring the Parisian coat-of-arms pictured below. Upper and lower portions of the poster bear large text: “Paris-1924” and “Jeux Olympiques.” Professionally linen-backed, rolled, and expertly restored to fine condition, with some minor surface loss from mounting along the top edge. Of the 150 projects submitted for the official poster of the VIII Olympiad, the French Olympic Committee selected posters from two finalists—Jean Droit and Orsi. Ten thousand copies of each were printed, and of these 20,000 posters, a total of 12,000 were sent abroad and distributed with the help of the National Olympic Committees, Sporting Federations, and Olympic Associations. Those that remained in France were distributed by sporting establishments, theater companies, and travel agencies. A rare and impressive Olympic poster fast approaching its 100th anniversary, which will be celebrated by the triumphant return of the Summer Games to Paris in 2024. Jean Droit was a painter and illustrator (1884-1961) who designed several posters for France during the First World War and several travel posters in the years between the wars.

European school; 19th century. "Hawk over barnyard". Oil on canvas. It presents faults in the frame. Measurements: 66 x 107 cm; 94 x 123 cm (frame). This type of painting starring animals became popular during the 19th century, due to the change in the collectors who requested a less regal painting that reflected themes of a lighter tone. In this particular case, a hawk stands over a flock of birds and rabbits, reflecting the artist's great skill in capturing the animals, which are treated aesthetically from a truthful and realistic perspective. Francisco Hohenleiter (Cadiz, 1889 - Seville, 1968) began his training in Puerto de Santa Maria, and in 1918 he moved to Seville, settling permanently in the city. An elegant, colourful painter, he soon became a leading figure in mural decoration and, above all, in posters, magazine illustration and book illustration. His works combine influences from different styles such as modernism, genre painting and romanticism. Through his posters in the 1920s he reinvented Holy Week in Seville, with works based on the use of colour and decorative lines. As a painter he focused on portraiture, landscape and the depiction of popular types, mainly majos, as well as genre scenes. He also produced nudes, church interiors and still lifes. Throughout his career he showed his work in various Spanish cities and also in Paris, with an outstanding exhibition at the Charpentier gallery in 1932. Francisco Hohenleiter's painting is rooted in that of Jiménez Aranda and García Ramos and is inspired by Goya and Alenza. He became the glosador of romantic Seville, the portraitist of the Andalusia set to music by Albéniz. His work is currently scattered all over Andalusia: murals, posters, hand programmes, etc. Today he is represented in various museums and private collections.
