Lot description
André Girard 1901-1968 Exposition Internationale Des Arts Décoratifs Et Industriels Modernes. 1925. Condition B+: minor staining at top edge; minor repaired tears and creases at edges; mounted on Japan. Matted and framed. This is the rarest of the four posters that were commissioned for the seminal Exposition Internationale de Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. Similar to the use of smoking chimneys in the poster designed by Charles Loupot (lot 81) for the same exhibition, Girard's image has a more dynamic layout. The smokestacks rise in a pyramid that visually echoes the seething mass of men who are scrambling to get to the top of their own pyramid. At the pinnacle, one man holds aloft a chalice, perhaps meant to indicate a form of perfection toward which all are striving. As with the other three posters designed for the exhibition, colors are kept to a minimum. This is the smaller format. Girard np.
