Lot description

Guillermo Laborde 1886-1940 1er Campeonato Mundial de Football Uruguay. 1930. Condition B+: repaired tears at edges; water-staining, foxing, creases and abrasions in margins and image. Laborde was an Uruguayan painter, sculptor and designer. This image, advertising the first FIFA World Cup Football competition in Montevideo, is his most famous poster. He was founder of the "pianissimo" movement, in which bright colors are used to delineate the geometric planes which comprise the image, and it seems this rule also guided his hand in graphic design. This poster was also printed in a version with blue, and in only black and white with text variations. Crouse p. 114, Sportissimo, p. 94
