About Charles Loupot
Charles Loupot (1892–1962) was a French poster artist, lithographer, painter, and designer born in Nice. He trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon before establishing his career in Geneva and then Paris, where he became one of the prominent commercial poster designers of the interwar period. Loupot's bold graphic style, refined typography, and striking use of color placed him among the leading figures of French advertising art alongside contemporaries such as Cassandre and Paul Colin. His long-running poster campaign for the Saint-Raphaël apéritif brand, beginning in 1937, brought him international recognition. During World War II he refused to work under the occupation and withdrew to Chevroches, interrupting his career until 1945. In addition to posters, Loupot produced gouaches, pastels, sculptures, and illustrations throughout his career.

Common works and media
Original stone-lithographic advertising posters (especially for Saint-Raphaël, and other luxury and consumer brands), smaller-format printed advertisements, gouache studies and maquettes for poster designs, pastel works, easel paintings, book illustrations, and typographic design projects. Posters from his Paris period (1923–1940) represent the most frequently seen category at auction.
Market and appraisal context
Charles Loupot's original lithographic advertising posters are the works most commonly encountered at auction, with the Saint-Raphaël series and other interwar brand campaigns appearing regularly in vintage poster sales. Condition, sheet size, whether the poster has been linen-backed, and confirmed original printing all materially influence value. Original paintings, gouaches, and pastels by Loupot surface less often and may command premiums when attribution is well documented. Collectors should verify printing details and provenance, as later reproductions of his celebrated posters are widely circulated. Appraisals benefit from comparison with realized prices from dedicated vintage poster auctions at major houses.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Value drivers
- Loupot is best known for original lithographic advertising posters, especially the Saint-Raphaël series; condition, sheet size, and whether the poster is linen-backed significantly affect value
- Works from his Paris period (1923–1940) and the Saint-Raphaël campaigns are the most frequently encountered at auction
- Original gouaches, pastels, and paintings by Loupot are less common on the market than his printed posters and may carry a premium when attributed and documented
- Later reprints and reproductions of his posters circulate widely; provenance and printing details should be verified
Appraisal caveats
- The source pack does not include specific auction-house result records; appraisal should reference comparable realized prices from major poster sales.
- VIAF lists Loupot's death year as 1960 while RKD and the Library of Congress record 1962; the RKD date of 1962-10-18 is the most specific and is preferred here.
