About the Item
The Compagnie Générale Transatlantique commissioned Paul Colin in 1937 to create this poster representing the famous liner "Normandie" in response to the airlines on transcontinental travel.
After the war, in 1948-1949, the printer Courbet S.A. in Paris reissued the poster.
The image of the ship emphasizes the stability, safety, comfort, style and luxury of an ocean liner, as evidenced by the massive proportions of the ship. Note the clever use of the French national colors in the vertical "waves": the liner with its huge impressive bow dominates this striking image.
Paul Colin 🇫🇷 (1892-1985) is considered one of the greatest French poster artists.
Very Art Deco at the beginning, his style soon became very personal and impossible to classify: the synthetic precision of his portraits, the evocative power of his posters for great causes characterize him so much as a master of visual communication that his work remains current and relevant. Fresh.
Considered a master of the modern poster school, he has created more than 1400 posters and numerous theater sets and costumes.

Paul Colin
Paul Colin (French , 1892-1985) was a French artist widely recognized for his imaginatively configured art deco posters depicting many well known theatre performers in Paris in the 1920's and 1930's, such as Josephine Baker and modernist figures and nudes. He also specialized in theatre sets, book designs, and costume design. Influenced by Cubism and jazz, he often employed a collage-like methodology to his work, juxtaposing highly stylized figural compositions against geometrically overlapping objects.He was a student of Valin and Prouvre. He created performance posters that were highly stylized, for studio, arts and dance. He was awarded an inspiring graphic artist and had his own unique style as he embraced symbolism and an abstract style.
