This striking 1972 original poster by Bellemare & Pelletier was designed in anticipation of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montréal, Canada. The artwork showcases the architectural bl ueprints of the iconic Olympic Stadium, designed by French architect Roger Taillibert. Set against a sleek gray background, the poster features three precise technical illustrations of the stadium from different angles—side, front, and top views—highlighting the bold modernist design and sweeping curves of what would become one of Canada’s most famous sports venues. The towering inclined mast, meant to support the retractable roof, dominates the composition, emphasizing the stadium’s futuristic and innovative engineering. Running vertically through the center is a vibrant rainbow stripe, symbolizing the unity and diversity of the Olympic Games while adding a dynamic contrast to the monochrome technical drawings. Above, the official 1976 Montréal Olympics logo, designed by Georges Huel, sits prominently next to the event's name in clean, bold typography. This poster is a perfect representation of the era’s architectural ambition and Olympic spirit, making it a prized collector’s item for both design enthusiasts and sports history collectors alike.
