René Gruau – Rimini Sun Girl, 2000 Original Italian Adriatic Beach Travel Poster
Original offset lithograph poster by René Gruau, created for the city of Rimini to promote the Adriatic resort. Gruau designed two different posters for Rimini; this example, commonly known as the “Rimini Sun Girl,” presents a stylized female figure embodying the summer atmosphere of the seaside destination.
Printed in 2000 by Commune Rimini, this work continues Gruau’s tradition of fashion-inspired imagery, using simplified forms and bold color to convey elegance and leisure. The poster measures 27 × 38.3 inches and has been professionally linen-backed for conservation.
