Concours automobiles classiques et Louis Vuitton 1998

This original 1998 poster, created by the celebrated French graphic artist Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz, known by his pseudonym Razzia, was produced for the prestigious Concours Automobiles Classiques et Louis Vuitton held at the Parc de Bagatelle in Paris on the 5th and 6th of September. A visually arresting composition, it exemplifies Razzia’s iconic style — a refined blend of Art Deco influence and bold, modern minimalism.

In the foreground, a pristine white summer hat rests on the verdant lawn, symbolising both the elegance of the event’s attendees and the leisurely charm of a late-summer Parisian afternoon. Behind it, a classic streamlined car looms, rendered in immaculate detail, its sweeping curves embodying the golden age of automobile design. Overhead, a vintage biplane flies across a serene blue sky, further enhancing the poster's romantic atmosphere and evoking an era of adventurous luxury.

Razzia is one of the last poster artists to work entirely by hand, a rarity in an age dominated by digital design. His work stands out for its painterly quality and timeless aesthetic, often commissioned by luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon, and Lancia. His posters are not merely advertisements, but art pieces in their own right — collectors’ items that capture the spirit of elegance and nostalgia.

This poster perfectly encapsulates the refinement and heritage of the Louis Vuitton Classic, making it not only a visual statement but a cherished slice of automotive and graphic design history.
