For the 79th edition of the Cannes Festival, the artist Lobo Graphik offers a singular view of the poster, inspired by an iconic photograph of Steve Schapiro — Barbra Streisand in the Bathtub (1974), taken in Los Angeles.
The original image was retouched and readjusted in order to adapt perfectly to the display format, while respecting its composition and depth. LoBO GraphiK adds its graphic vision : black and white marked, with the number 79 in transparent shaded rose and the text in dark blue-green, in harmony with the palette of the official catalogue of the festival 2026. The result is a contemporary, intimate and clean reading that highlights both the original work and the vision of this unofficial poster of the 2026 Cane Festival!

Barbra Streisand: icon and director
Born 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Barbra Streisand is an emblematic figure of music, cinema and theatre. Legendary singer and Oscar-winning actress, she has marked several generations with her unique voice and presence on screen.
But Streisand isn't just an interpreter: she's also director and producer. From the 1980s, she took the camera to direct significant films, mixing artistic sensitivity and technical mastery. His works behind the camera reveal his personal vision of cinema, often intimate and deeply human.
Today, at the Cannes Film Festival 2026, its influence is celebrated through a Palm gold honour, tribute to a career that combines performance, artistic direction and creative commitment.
