About the Poster
This original 1986 Ray Ellis Reflections Poster was published and distributed in Paris by Chromaline in collaboration with Graphique de France. The peaceful visual captures a minimalist maritime study featuring rows of small wooden rowboats floating on calm waters during golden hour. The composition is celebrated for its perfect mirror reflections, soft pink and amber sunset gradients, and the rhythmic silhouettes of the boats. Expertly printed in France, the premium lithographic reproduction beautifully retains the smooth tonal transitions and subtle atmosphere of the original photograph. The bottom white and pink borders feature the stylized title "Reflections" in elegant white script typography above the artist's name and official institutional copyright details.
