About the Artist: Jean Carlu started his career as a professional poster-designer in 1919, after a competition by a producer of dental aids in 1918. From 1919 until 1921 he served as an illustrator, after which he worked at an agency that designed advertisements. In that period he designed his first poster in Art Deco style.

Carlu was attracted by cubism and was one of the first who realized that to fix a trademark in the minds of consumers, a process needs to be gone through in which schematic forms and expressive colours are applied. These are the characteristics that give his posters and other works their distinguishable quality.

Poster is a re-issue and ready to frame. Perfect for a bathroom or boudoir.
