L'Inconnu. La Révolte.

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A neoclassical propaganda poster reimagining Jimi Hendrix as an allegorical figure of revolution, rendered in the style of Eugène Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. The figure wields a burning French tricolor in a smoke-filled street, conflating 1960s counterculture with 19th-century insurrectionary iconography. The subtitle 'Cool & Classique' suggests a fictional 1970s French cultural movement that never quite happened—a moment when avant-garde galleries attempted to sanctify rock music as high art. Collectors of absurdist political imagery and counterfactual art-historical artifacts.
