A striking 1996 French poster by Michel Quarez, created for Bastille Day celebrations in Aubervilliers, Paris.

Featuring bold blue and white brushstrokes against a brilliant red background, the design offers a wonderfully simple interpretation of the French tricolour. A great example of Quarez's expressive, painterly approach to graphic design.

An example of this poster is held in the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
