About the Item

Graphis International Poster Design Gouache 31 x 24 cm Provenance: The family of A. E. Halliwell Graphis is a renowned international journal of visual communication and graphic arts, founded in 1944 in Zurich, Switzerland by Walter Herdeg and Dr. Walter Amstutz. Emerging during a period of growing international exchange in design, Graphis became a pioneering platform for showcasing excellence in graphic design, advertising, illustration, and photography across the globe. This cover design for Graphis International Posters features a tree, though instead of leaves it has the flags of the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium and France. Instead of being rooted into the ground, the tree stands on a stylised wooden palette, the tree and the palette blending into one another as the pattern of the bark spreads across both. The tree as paintbrush and palette stand out on the page, as the bright colours of the flags pop against the pale blue background. The artist's use of a simple typeface for Graphis International Poster Design compounds the clean lines and uncluttered nature of this painting.

Original Affiches Paul Mohr Compagnie Nationale des Papers 1932 vintage poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Original small format poster Affiches Paul Mohr, 1932. Archival linen backed in excellent condition, ready to frame. The rare Paul Mohr posters are incredibly elusive; many have had only one remaining known copy survive. Printing method: Helio-Typo or Typelo. Before television, beautiful lithographs adorn the streets and walls of Paris and other European cities. Art for the street, art for the public. Weather and rain would destroy these works of art by renowned artists, only to be replaced. The artist: Paul Gustave Mohr, a French Avant-garde poster designer from the Art Deco period was born Sept. 4, 1890 in Ham, France and died on April 13, 1959 in Paris. He lived most of his life in Paris, and then settled in the small town of Asnieres, France, just outside of Paris. He attended the Sorbonne University, as well as several art schools. During World War I, he was a pilot in the French Army from 1914-1917. Paul Mohr married Jeanne Levy in 1917 and they had three daughters: Helene, Genevieve, and Jacqueline. As an artist, he designed advertising posters from 1920 to 1940. His posters advertised Wonder cycles, Dainty cycles, Lustucru pasta, Banania sugar, Bremsit brakes, Champigneulles beer, L'Union beer, Dubonnet wine, as well as shoes and ham. This information was provided to me by my mother, Helene Mohr Breitenbucher, who was his eldest daughter. Carol Schuler (granddaughter) Advertising posters, the affiches of Paul Mohr. This is an original advertising poster for the affiches (posters) created by the master artist Paul Mohr (1890-1959). Archival linen backed in very good condition. No stains, no tears, no paper loss. Grade A condition. Ready to frame. Compagnie Nationale des Papier, Paris. The crowd on the street looks up in amazement at the art deco-style images that the artist created. Images on the wall feature incredible image that this artist created such as Lustucru, Amer...
