NOEL TOLMAR (1900-?) EXPOSITION INTERNATIONALE BATIMENT. 1934. 33 1/4x20 3/4 inches. Condition A-: minor tears and staining in margins; horizontal folds. A Belgian poster designer, Tolmar is best known for his work for the Red Cross and for having one of his posters banned by Germans occupying Belgium in 1941. Architecture is a subject that ideally fits into modern, geometric graphics. And here, he designed a perfectly balanced poster to promote an exhibition of Art Deco buildings. His image is a sleek, simple graphic representation of a building, composed of a rectangle seen in perspective, with the typography arranged in an orderly fashion beneath the structure.
