ADOLPHE MOURON CASSANDRE (1901-1968) MENTOR. 1949. 33 1/2x24 1/4 inches, 85x61 1/2 cm. Andreasen & Lachmann, Copenhagen. Condition A. Framed. This advertisement for a Danish Encyclopedia was one of the last posters Cassandre designed. More in keeping with the lyric romanticism of his theatrical work, which was prominent at this point in his career, he depicts a young man poring over a reference book with question marks indicating his curiosity. Clearly finding what he wants, the blue illustrations in the book are filling up his eyes, which are the same color. Cassandre / Suntory p. 182, Brown & Reinhold p. 161.
