Lot description
Robert Bonfils 1886-1972 Exposition Internationale Des Arts Décoratifs Et Industriels Modernes. 1925. Condition B+: small replaced losses, repaired tears, abrasions and darkening at edges; repaired pin holes in upper corners; minor abrasions and restoration in image. Matted and framed. Robert Bonfils worked as an illustrator, bookbinder, painter and decorator and was one of the most active French artists during the Art Deco period. As such, he received the commission to design one of four official posters to advertise the 1925 Parisian exhibition, from which the term Art Deco was derived. His image, in the style of a woodcut, is a classical allegory of a young girl frolicking in the woods with a gazelle. Above them is a stylized rose that was one of the symbols of the exhibition. Each poster for the exhibition was printed in two different sizes. This is the smaller format, printed in red and black. The image was also used on the cover of the exhibition catalogue.
