Original advertising poster created by
Bernard Villemot
for the Swiss luxury house
Bally,
circa 1982.
“La Femme en Noir” is a refined example of Villemot’s signature minimalist aesthetic. The elongated female silhouette set against a deep black background creates a striking, modern composition with strong graphic impact.
The contrast between the matte black field and the delicate skin tones, accented by soft pink shoes, gives this piece a timeless elegance — equally suited for contemporary, mid-century, or Scandinavian interiors.
Printed in lithography by IPA on Arches paper.
