1927 original poster by Sepo for "La Rumeur"

1927

About the Item

The 1927 original poster by Sepo for "La Rumeur" is a striking piece of advertising art, reflecting the vibrant and innovative graphic design style of the early 20th century. "La Rumeur" was promoted as "Le grand quotidien de midi" and touted as the "haut parleur de toutes les rumeurs" under the direction of Georges Anquetil. Sepo, an influential artist of the era, was known for his bold and dynamic use of colors and typography, which is evident in this poster. The design features a prominent ear, symbolizing the essence of "La Rumeur" as a midday newspaper focused on delivering all the latest rumors. The poster effectively captures the attention with its vivid colors and clear, impactful message, typical of Sepo's distinctive style. The year 1927 was a time of great social and technological change, with mass media beginning to play a significant role in shaping public opinion. "La Rumeur," with its sensational approach, aimed to cater to the public's growing appetite for news and gossip. Georges Anquetil, a notable figure in the world of journalism and publishing, leveraged this trend to position "La Rumeur" as a leading source of midday news. The poster not only serves as an advertisement but also as a historical artifact, reflecting the media culture of the 1920s. It provides insight into the marketing strategies of the time, where visual appeal and catchy slogans were crucial in capturing the public's interest. Sepo's artwork is a testament to the era's graphic design trends, characterized by bold imagery and a modernist aesthetic. The 1927 original poster by Sepo for "La Rumeur" is a significant piece that encapsulates the essence of early 20th-century advertising and media culture. It remains a valuable collector's item for those interested in the history of graphic design and journalism.
