“Monaco 1968” – encapsulates the spirit, colour and drama of F1 GP Monaco in one single moment. A classic motor racing pose of dueling drivers, the speed of the brushstrokes matching the intensity of the race, it reaches out and grabs the heart of all those who love the sport…truly iconic!

http://posterclassics.com/Images-Moto-Cycle/BigPannetton.gif
my fave is Rouge et Noir poster
Rouge Baiser Beret – http://posterclassics.com/Images-Gruau-Savignac-Villemot/bigRougeBaiserHat.jpg – for me. Might be different choice if looking at them on walls around town, but on the web I find the simplicity of Beret very eye catching. The black beret draws me in as I wonder whether it really is black or is where someone has cut out part of the poster, and then the red lips looks like they could really be a lipstick kiss someone has planted on it. And then there is the message, that the woman could be any woman, and it is the lipstick that gets her noticed. Very imaginative.
