Original poster by Guy Peellaert for the film Taxi Driver, directed by Martin Scorsese in 1976, with Robert de Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd and Harvey Keitel.

This poster of Taxi Driver is a commission from Martin Scorsese to the Belgian artist Guy Peellaert. Graphic designer, painter, illustrator and photographer, his work has never ceased to cross the worlds of cinema and rock. Known for his pop comics in the mid-sixties, he was noticed by the director after a series of portraits published between 70 and 73.

Guy Peellaert creates his poster in a hyperrealist style, depicting Robert De Niro on the alert, his worried gaze directed off-camera, alone in front of his taxi in a gloomy Manhattan.

However, at the time of the film's release, Columbia deemed the poster "not commercial enough" and preferred to use another version for the so-called mass market (with a black-and-white photograph of Travis walking head down, hands in his pockets, among the signs on a New York street).

"He understood exactly what we wanted and not only did he execute it, he outdid it. He knew Travis Bickle's character, his way of being, his surroundings and - most importantly - his eyes. (...) People often tell me how much they love the Taxi Driver poster. I always tell them that there was only one man for the job. His name is Guy Peellaert." Martin Scorsese (2013)
