Description
1968 French “Psychophot” art poster (Francis Paudras)
original first printing John Coltrane (1926–1967) art poster designed by legendary French jazz enthusiast and graphic designer Francis Paudras (1935–1997) in 1967 and issued by Psychophot in 1968. Paudras, who was a close friend of jazz pianist Bud Powell, had his own design studio in Paris during the 1960’s. Living on a modest income he spent much of it on his passion for jazz. Obsessed with Powell’s genius, his relationship with the pianist went beyond that of artist and devoted fan, however, and Paudras became his effective guardian and unofficial manager for a period in 1962-64. Psychophot was just one of many poster production and printing companies that sprung up in the late 1960s/early 1970s to meet a near insatiable demand for posters.
The poster measures 79.4 x 59.7 cm (approx. 31.3″ by 23.5″ inches) and is beautifully printed in black ink on medium-thin, paper stock. In excellent unfolded condition. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have concerning this item. Additional images of the poster available on request.
