Poster "Le Goût du Temps Long"

75,00€

The art of patience, magnified in an image.

In this poetic poster signed by Jean-Michel Tixier, a fisherman, seen from behind, contemplates the stillness of a riverside landscape. At his feet, a wicker basket in which rests a bottle of La Vieille Prune - Réserve du Centenaire.

The work draws a parallel between the patience of the fisherman and that of the master blender: two craftsmen of the long game, united by a taste for waiting and for perfection.

An ode to slowness, to mastery and to the pleasure of waiting. It illustrates the ageing of La Vieille Prune eaux-de-vie, of which the Réserve du Centenaire embodies the quintessence.

JEAN-MICHEL TIXIER

A self-taught Parisian artist, Jean-Michel Tixier confidently revisits the French tradition of ligne claire. An heir to Hergé, Chaland and Serge Clerc, he brings a resolutely contemporary and grown-up touch to this retro style. His characters, mischievous and ultramodern, seem to step straight out of a comic strip into our own era. His sharp, irreverent line appeals equally to publishing and fashion, where his graphic humour and timeless elegance hit the mark.

INSPIRATION

This illustration captures the essence of time, a central element of Maison Louis Roque's savoir-faire. The solitary fisherman, his light rod resting on the bank, becomes a metaphor for the ageing of the eaux-de-vie: observation, patience, humility before nature and the passage of time. The wicker basket containing the Réserve du Centenaire acts as a symbol: the fruit of a mastered wait, the ultimate reward of slowness.

Through a soft and luminous palette, Jean-Michel Tixier creates a peaceful and contemplative, almost meditative atmosphere. The poster expresses both the serenity of a suspended moment and the refined character of an eau-de-vie shaped by the years.
