Jacquelin had a long career spanning many decades and many artistic styles. In the 1930s, he designed Art Deco travel and transportation posters and by the 1940s, he was working primarily on movie posters. During the 1950s and onwards, his graphic designs display a recognizable mid-century modern style. Towards the end of his life he focused more on painting.
