Fêtes de Paris. 1935.
A surrealistic face and a grouping of Parisian landmarks against an early summer sky comprise the poster for the 1935 Paris Fair. During this period, Cassandre deviated from his purely geometric lines and experimented with more decorative approaches. These posters "were designed to appeal to the eye and, to give them their due, they succeeded in doing so perfectly” (Mouron, p. 71). This is the smaller format.
Size: 24 1/2 x 38 3/4 in./62.2 x 98.4 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight stains at edges.
Printer: L. Danel, Paris
Reference: Mouron, 52; Brown & Reinhold, 52; Cassandre/Weill, 142; PAI-LXXXII, 229
Key Words: Art Deco; Artist: Cassandre; Expositions
