ROBERT FALCUCCI (1900-1989)

DMC. Circa 1930s.


60 1/2x44 inches, 153 1/2x111 3/4 cm. Vasselais, Paris.
Condition B+: expertly-repaired tears at edges, some into upper image; minor creases and restoration at edges.

Falcucci's career spanned multiple decades and several thematic milieux, some of his best works being for automobile companies. Essentially an "object poster" for the DMC thread company (still in business today), in line with his other product advertisements of the 30s, is punctuated by bright colors on black backgrounds, conveying the effect of a neon sign.
