Four-Leaf Towers, Houston poster, 1983

Lithograph

28 x 20 ″

Commissioned in 1983, Jean-Michel Folon’s poster served as an advertising image for the Four-Leaf Towers, promoting the development to its earliest residents with a distinctly poetic and mysterious style. In Folon's Four-Leaf Towers poster, the buildings float—not physically, but emotionally. They’re present without being grounded. Monumental, yet strangely gentle in their Texan ombré colors. The small human figure below doesn’t dominate the scene, nor is he dwarfed by it. He simply stands there in admiration. Printed as a promotional poster for the Four-Leaf Towers in Houston, Texas, the poster was published by Sessions Editions USA and printed in USA by Dave Hanson in March 1983.
