Tirez Sur Le Pianiste (1960)

This 1960 original French poster for Tirez sur le pianiste is a superb example of early French New Wave design, graphic, playful, and darkly ironic. Featuring Charles Aznavour caught in a moment of stylised tension, the bold target motif perfectly captures the film’s mix of crime, melancholy, and off beat humour.

Culturally, the film is a key work by François Truffaut, marking his shift from The 400 Blows into genre experimentation and cinephile storytelling. Collectors are drawn to this poster for its striking visual concept, scarcity, and importance within the French New Wave making it as desirable as an art object as it is a landmark of modern cinema history.
