About the Item
This 1990 original screenprint (sérigraphie) by Pierre Fix-Masseau, titled "Train et Globes", is a striking example of the artist’s signature style, blending streamlined modernism with bold, symbolic imagery. Known for his iconic Art Deco posters, Fix-Masseau’s work consistently celebrates the elegance and power of transportation, speed, and global connectivity—themes that are masterfully expressed in this piece.
At the center of the composition, a black steam locomotive with a vibrant red front charges forward on multiple converging tracks, evoking a sense of momentum and determination. Above, two overlapping globes represent the world interconnected through rail travel, reinforcing the idea of trains as a vital force in uniting distant lands. The train’s smoke rises in a jagged, vertical line, visually linking the locomotive to the global network above.
The color palette is dominated by shades of blue and gray, creating a cool, futuristic atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the black and red of the train. The geometric simplicity and clean lines are reminiscent of Fix-Masseau’s earlier Art Deco influences, yet the minimalist execution lends it a contemporary feel.
This screenprint is a brilliant fusion of industrial design and artistic vision, making it a perfect representation of Fix-Masseau’s lifelong passion for transportation. Whether appreciated as a work of graphic art, a symbol of technological progress, or a collectible piece of modernist railway imagery, "Train et Globes" is a timeless celebration of the romance and power of trains in a rapidly evolving world.

Circa 1960 travel screen print - Meet All of the East in Malaya (Malaysia)
Located in PARIS, FR
The circa 1960 travel sérigraphie, Meet All of the East in Malaya, is a captivating piece of promotional art designed to attract tourists to Southeast Asia, particularly Malaya (now part of Malaysia). Created during a time when international travel was booming, the poster was intended to highlight the region’s appeal as a destination, focusing on the richness of its culture, landscapes, and the dynamic contrast between tradition and modernity.
The poster was produced using the sérigraphie (screen printing) technique, which was widely used during the mid-20th century for creating bold, vibrant advertisements. Sérigraphie allowed for the mass production of posters with striking colors, making it an effective medium for catching the attention of potential travelers. Posters like this one were instrumental in promoting tourism by visually presenting a destination as a place full of adventure, cultural discovery, and natural beauty.
