View All1931 ink poster for the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris
Located in PARIS, FR
This original 1931 ink poster project was created as a concept for the Exposition Coloniale Internationale, held in Paris from May to November 1931. The striking black-and-white composition features a bold, angular depiction of a man in traditional North African attire, set against an architectural backdrop reminiscent of Islamic and colonial influences. The typography, arranged in a dynamic diagonal layout, gives the piece a sense of power and movement.
As a preliminary design, this ink project was likely part of a larger effort to develop the visual identity of the Exposition Coloniale, which was one of the most significant international exhibitions of its time. The exposition, hosted in Bois de Vincennes, aimed to showcase the cultural, economic, and artistic achievements of France’s colonial empire, with pavilions representing territories such as North Africa, Indochina, and West Africa.
The artwork's bold contrasts, dramatic perspective, and modernist style reflect the Art Deco and early 20th-century graphic design trends, emphasizing strong geometric forms and high-impact visuals. As a hand-drawn project, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative process behind exhibition advertising, where artists experimented with layouts, typography, and imagery before finalizing a printed poster.
Today, this ink poster project is a historical artifact, offering insight into both colonial-era propaganda and vintage graphic...
