About the Item
Original Vintage Poster, 'Relax' 1964 by Rene Gruau
The fifties were the last flowering of the golden age of the ocean liner, which would soon be usurped by the jet plane. During the decade, transatlantic crossings were joined by a strong increase in pleasure cruises. This charming poster for Chargeurs Reunis simply and elegantly captures the carefree life on a Post-World War II cruise ship.
Rene Gruau was an Italian poster artist who became a leading fashion illustrator in the fifties and sixties in Paris. His image of an Audrey Hepburn-like beauty, dozing in the sun onboard is a classic in travel poster art.
This poster has been linen backed for preservation, the overall condition is very good

René Gruau
René Gruau, an Italian-born artist who made his name in Paris and New York as an illustrator for fashion houses, women's magazines, nightclubs and ballet companies. René Gruau astounds us simply by the immensity of his work, his modernity, his simplicity and his utter elegance. He is a virtuoso performer of the greatest names in fashion, the most prestigious brands, the most colourful shows. but the artist has the elegance to stay behind his works. His talent and his highly personal style shine through... In the 1990's there were exhibitions of his work in Germany, Japan, Monaco and France. The largest retrospective was organized by the Advertising Museum in Paris in 1999. It was called, simply, ''Passionately Gruau.''
