LOUPOT, Charles
A poster for the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts (commonly known as the Art Deco Exposition) held in Paris in 1925. Four different designers and artists were commissioned to create posters at the time. This work was designed by the graphic designer Charles Loupot. The illustration depicts a factory billowing smoke with Loupot’s characteristic thick, quick brushwork. Another cloud of smoke spreads across the sky apart from the smoke coming out of the factory chimneys, which upon closer inspection is shaped like a rose, the icon of the Art Deco Exposition. This design elegantly captures anticipation and aspiration for the development of industry and industrial technology, as well as their close relationship with the decorative arts.
