About the Item

The 1949 original poster by Gaston Jacquement promoting "La Croix" newspaper carries a profound and enduring message: "La Croix Sème Chaque Jour la Paix," which translates to "La Croix Sows Peace Every Day." This poster, created in the post-World War II era, not only serves as a promotional piece but also encapsulates the newspaper's commitment to spreading messages of hope, reconciliation, and lasting peace. The years following World War II were marked by the need for healing, understanding, and the pursuit of peace in a world scarred by conflict. It was a time when people sought solace in the power of communication and the written word, making newspapers like "La Croix" invaluable in shaping public discourse. Gaston Jacquement's poster masterfully conveys this message of peace. At its center, we find the iconic image of a dove carrying an olive branch, universally recognized as a symbol of peace. The dove soars against the backdrop of the newspaper's title, "La Croix," connecting the publication with the noble mission of promoting peace. The choice of the dove as a central motif is both symbolic and evocative. It represents the aspiration for a world free from strife and conflict, where the spread of information and understanding can lead to lasting harmony. Gaston Jacquement's artistic finesse, through the use of color, typography, and composition, enhances the poster's emotional impact. The message is clear: "La Croix" is not just a newspaper; it is a beacon of hope and a vehicle for the dissemination of ideas that can contribute to a more peaceful world.

Before television, beautiful lithographs adorn the streets and walls of Paris and other European cities. Art for the street, art for the public.
