ADOLPHE MOURON CASSANDRE (1901-1968) PARIS. 1935.
39 1/4x24 1/4 inches, 99 3/4x61 1/2 cm. Draeger, Paris.
Condition A: minor abrasions in image.
Although produced in the same year as his fabled Normandie poster, this image is an indication of the direction Cassandre's work would take once he moved to America in 1936. It is done in a "charming, dreamy" symbolic style based on Surrealism, and indeed, elements of Magritte can be seen; it is a "foreglimpse of Cassandre's later stage designs" (Mouron p. 71). Mouron 53, Train 267, Voyage p. 141, Reclame 99.
