A.M. Cassandre (Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron) 1901–1968 Dubo-Dubon-Dubonnet vintage poster
Caption Brief: This 1932 version of the "Dubonnet" is exquisitely colored, with the soft primary-color backgrounds of red-blue-yellow corresponding to the emotional/psychological state of the drinker. In addition, its evocation of the wine and its bottle are particularly three-dimensional in their rendering, and the coloration of the border all contribute to a superb combination of two- and three-dimensional perspectives. Cassandre plays cleverly on the brand name, moving from "Dubo" (suggesting "doubt") to "Dubon" ("good") before arriving at "Dubonnet".
