ROBERT FALCUCCI (1900-1989)

LA MONTAGNE. 1950.


45¼x30 inches, 115x76¼ cm. Vasselais, Paris.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and abrasions at edges.

Falcucci wonderfully captures the universal concept of a newspaper "Written for all and read by all." Three silhouettes, in red, white and blue, each clearly representing a different member of society (a laborer, a gentleman and a student) are reading copies of the paper. By using the colors of the French flag, Falcucci implies that to be French is to read La Montagne. Fit to Print 187.
