'Samivel' Paul Gayet-Tancrède (1907 - 1992) Samuel: poète du verbe et de l'image (1992) Original vintage poster 95 x 65 cm This poster advertises an exhibition of Samuel's work, entitled 'Samuel: poet of word and image' and held in Grenoble in 1992, the year of the artist's death. It features Samuel's 1987 Au Vrai Sommet ('To the True Summit') as its image; the lone figure gazing out into the mountainous blue, gaunt and clad only in a loincloth, seems to represent Samivel's outstanding but isolated work. Samivel was a writer, an artist, a photographer, an explorer and more. In 1948 he accompanied Paul Émile Victor on the first French Greenland expedition, making three documentary films in the process. His friends included Théodore Monod and Gilbert André - the latter the mayor of Bonneval-sur-Arc and one of the founders of the Vanoise National Park - and with them and others he spent his whole life aiming for the protection of the imperilled countryside. The graphic artist side of him had a life-long fascination with high mountains, and his illustrated books and series of posters of the French Alps have long been popular.
