Crafted in 1981 as part of a series of annual greeting cards, the original poster titled "Love" by Yves Saint Laurent is a cherished emblem of the designer's artistic expression and affectionate sentiment. This poster represents just one installment in a remarkable tradition that spanned from 1970 to 2007, where Saint Laurent would annually create unique cards in poster form, sending them to friends, collaborators, and clients.
Each year, Saint Laurent embarked on a creative journey to design these cards, infusing them with his distinctive style and vision. Utilizing collage, drawings, and gouache, he would craft intricate compositions that reflected his evolving aesthetic and thematic inspirations. Despite the diversity of themes and styles explored in each card, the leitmotif remained consistent: the word "LOVE" emblazoned across the design, serving as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of affection and connection.
The series of cards was a testament to Saint Laurent's boundless creativity and artistic versatility. Drawing inspiration from various sources, including his beloved Morocco and the works of renowned artists such as Georges Braque, Jean Cocteau, Andy Warhol, and Henri Matisse, each card was a unique expression of Saint Laurent's admiration for the world around him.
