The 1985 original advertising poster for Cartier, titled "Joailliers Horlogers Depuis 1847 - Fondation Cartier", is a visually striking and elegant representation of the brand’s timeless craftsmanship and luxurious appeal. Created in celebration of Cartier’s long-standing tradition as a master jeweler and watchmaker, this poster encapsulates the brand's dedication to artistry, precision, and sophistication. Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the French luxury house Cartier quickly became renowned for its high-end jewelry and watches, catering to European royalty and aristocrats. Over the decades, Cartier expanded its influence to become one of the most prestigious names in the world of luxury goods, known for creating iconic designs such as the Tank watch, the Santos watch, and the Love bracelet. By 1985, Cartier was well-established as a global leader in luxury timepieces and jewelry, and the brand’s advertising was aimed at reinforcing its legacy and status. The poster for “Joailliers Horlogers Depuis 1847” captures this legacy in a sleek, modern format while also nodding to the classic, refined elegance that Cartier represents. The 1985 poster emphasizes Cartier’s expertise in watchmaking, with the focus on a close-up of one of its iconic timepieces. The clean, minimalistic composition is dominated by an enlarged image of a Cartier wristwatch, likely the classic Tank model, which was originally designed in 1917. The Roman numerals on the dial and the blue sapphire cabochon crown, signature elements of Cartier watches, are prominently displayed, highlighting the exquisite attention to detail and precision craftsmanship for which Cartier is famous. The design uses muted colors, with shades of gold and beige contrasting against the clean white and blue tones of the watch. The blue of the sapphire cabochon, a signature detail of Cartier watches, draws the viewer’s eye, subtly signifying the luxurious nature of the product. The use of metallic gold accents further enhances the feeling of opulence and high quality. The typography is refined and elegant, with the name “Cartier” placed delicately above the image, reinforcing brand recognition without overwhelming the visual composition. The lower part of the poster contains the phrase “Joailliers Horlogers Depuis 1847,” which translates to "Jeweler and Watchmaker Since 1847," emphasizing the long history and heritage of the brand. The words “Fondation Cartier” reference the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, which was established in 1984, just a year before this poster was released. The foundation represents Cartier’s commitment not just to luxury goods but also to the broader cultural and artistic spheres, a theme which resonates in this poster. By the 1980s, Cartier had already achieved global status, and its advertising reflected the brand's mix of historical prestige and modern relevance. This poster is an excellent example of how Cartier balanced its traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design aesthetics. The 1980s were a time of opulence and luxury in the fashion world, and Cartier’s marketing emphasized timeless elegance over fleeting trends. The watch featured in the poster exemplifies Cartier’s ethos: classic, functional, yet utterly luxurious. The simplicity of the design does not detract from its inherent value, making it appealing to a wide range of customers, from royalty to modern-day collectors. Cartier’s ability to craft products that are instantly recognizable while maintaining exclusivity has been a key part of its branding, and this 1985 poster is a perfect illustration of that strategy.

Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art Nouveau outlines, with spiky Expressionist passages, and the postures and patterns of the mysterious East. In his later years, Schnackenberg explored the unconscious, using surreal subject matter and paler colors that plainly portrayed dreams and visions, some imbued with political connotations. His drawings, illustrations, folio prints, and posters are highly sought today for their exceedingly imaginative qualities, enchanting subject matter, and arresting use of color. SCHNACKENBERG: KOSTUME, PLAKATE UND DEKORATIONEN, a cardboard bound art book consisting of 43 prints of work by Walter Schnackenberg, 30 of which are color lithographs that are signed and some are titled and dated in the plate, as well as black and white prints and photographs with accompanying text by Oskar Bie; lithographs printed at Kunstanstalt Oskar Consee in Munich, other images printed by Gesellschaft Pick & Co. in Munich, the text and cover with color images by Schnackenberg front and verso printed by R. Oldenbourg in Munich; published by Musarion Verlag, Munich, 1920. The majority of Walter Schnackenberg’s artistic output was destroyed by bomb attacks in Munich in 1944. The highly publicized 2013 auction in New York of the recovered pre-war poster collection once belonging to German poster aficionado, Hans Sachs has reintroduced the world to Walter Schnackenberg’s graphic genius and priceless ephemeral art from a lost era. Besides the museum world, designer Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most prodigious collectors of Schnackenberg. Flipping through the pages of Kostume, Plakate und Dekorationen, it becomes quite clear that Schnackenberg’s collection is ground zero at the crossroads of early modern fashion where the cult of celebrity meets up with dance, music, theater and cabaret, film and the graphic medium. Berlin and Munich under Germany’s Weimar Republic in the first quarter of the 20th century produced just the atmosphere to feed this burgeoning industry. Rising inflation sparked a recklessness to live large for the moment and heightened a desire for escapism. An influx of Indian and East Asian dancers and musicians added to the artsy bohemian cultural mix. A new decadence and tolerance resulted. Film boldly featured provocative subject matter. Cabarets became popular venues giving rise to the demi-monde in which people from all social stations mixed more freely in a thriving underground economy and culture where there was a blurring of boundaries and of social codes. Noted art historian and cultural doyen, Oskar Bie astutely observes in his introduction to Schnackenberg’s publication that what unites the images is fantasy and advertisement. Schnackenberg uses the eye as an instrument to brilliantly construct and convey this double message. His personages never directly confront the viewer. Their eyes gaze off in the distance like those of the screenplayer and film star Hedamaria Scholz in Schnackenberg’s “Die Rodelhexe” movie poster. Their eyes follow the path of a dance composition or become a transfixed and ogling male gaze such as the iconic 1911 Odeon Casino poster...

This rare circa 1920 original poster promotes the Polovinkin troupe, a renowned ensemble of Cossack acrobats and dancers, known for their electrifying stage performances that combined martial precision with folk-inspired choreography. The poster captures the energy and coordination of these Caucasian performers, whose spectacular shows enthralled audiences across Europe during the interwar period. These performances often celebrated military tradition, athleticism, and cultural heritage, featuring intricate footwork, swordplay, and high-speed acrobatics rooted in Cossack customs. Part of the golden era of circus and variety performance, this lithograph is a stunning example of early 20th-century poster art, likely intended for use on street walls or theater façades to advertise upcoming shows. Its bold colors, stylized composition, and strong typography evoke the visual language of the time, where posters were both promotional and artistic expressions. A striking piece for collectors of circus history, Eastern European culture, or vintage graphic design...

Parasite: “There’s a lot to unpack in Bong Joon Ho's PARASITE. It asks many questions and doesn’t give us comforting answers. For the poster, I wanted to capture that sense of discomfort and unease. A seemingly picture-perfect moment between the happily rich Parks completely oblivious to what’s unfolding around them, and the Kim family relegated to the shadows struggling with their own complex feelings toward such wealth and privilege. It’s a timely film, groundbreaking for a handful of reasons, and difficult to define. My hope is the poster art is just as mesmerizing and ambiguous as the film itself.” - Rory Kurtz...
