Poster designer! The adventures of Michel Bouvet

By drawing by word and image a portrait of the graphic designer and poster designer Michel Bouvet, this book attempts to answer two questions: why for 30 years have his posters captured the attention of passers-by so much? And what meaning can a visual production so rooted in French and European culture have for a spectator from the other side of the world? The book examines the various facets of this globe-trotting graphic designer, certainly, but also painter, photographer, exhibition curator, teacher... - and puts them into perspective according to a double trajectory where we see the career of an artist marrying the adventure novel: an exceptional professional itinerary and a personal story taken up here against the current until his childhood and adolescence, marked by the tragic events of our History.
