ADOLPHE MOURON CASSANDRE (1901-1968) TRIPLEX. 1931. 47x31 inches, 119 1/2x78 1/2 cm. Alliance Graphique, Paris. Condition A / A-: minor rippling and creases in image; light vertical and horizontal folds. To promote this safety glass, Cassandre designed one of his strongest images - a nearly monochromatic poster. Every detail of this stylized driver - his wide eyes fixed on the road ahead and his hands tightly grasping the steering wheel - helps to evoke his complete concentration. The only barrier between the driver and the potential dangers of the road is a rectangle of Triplex glass. The graphic message is so simple and strong that no words are necessary.
