Sitting and viewing this vintage poster as closely as you are now, it may seem a little too intense to be used as wall art in your home. However, while the lead rider is positioned right at the forefront of the print and is

much larger than his competition, imagine this print displayed on your wall.

As in most modern homes, your walls are probably painted white and the colours of this vintage poster will contrast spectacularly with their brightness. But the problem was that this vintage poster would be too imposing as wall art, right? Well, the contrast actually helps with this. The print itself is not busy – the action depicted is played out between two lone bicycle racers on a bare track. Solid colours have been used and it is the intensity of the lead rider which threatens to overwhelm your room.

However, displayed as wall art, the vintage poster is framed by an expanse of white, therefore the print’s intensity is limited to itself, and has no chance to visually escape from the wall art to invade your home. This means you could comfortably display this vintage poster as wall art in your kitchen, dining room or lounge room and feel the inspiration and determination from the riders in the print, while viewing it from a distance, within the context of your home.

Also, to draw attention away from the intense rider, but still link your wall art to the rest of your decor, select new accessories in the same light purple colour as the text of this vintage poster, to draw your decorating t

ogether and highlight other elements of the print, and of your home.
