Stenzel was a movie and television director who made a few art films like this award-winning one
dedicated to Marcel Duchamp. The film’s title,”C’est la vie Rrose” is play on one of Duchamp’s
pseudonyms, Rrose Selavy. The poster is a little gem for Duchamp lovers; the white shape of a woman’s
body with her pubis demarcated by a black king from a chess set, reminds the viewer that Duchamp
was a Grandmaster who wrote books on the game.

The Grapus collective was a group of Communist graphic designers working together from 1970
through 1991, who rose to incredible acclaim and influence in France. Among their groundbreaking
hallmarks were handwritten typography and a mixture of mediums including photography and
drawing. Early on, their work had a political leaning, in that they worked for municipal (Communist)
governments, the public theater and other social institutions. As their fame grew, they progressively
took on more mainstream commissions, including this one from the Centre Pompidou.
