ROBERT FALCUCCI (1900-1989) PARIS - ALGER / LIAISON RAPIDE PAR MARSEILLE. Circa 1935. 38x24 inches, 98x62 cm. M. Dechaux, Paris. Condition A- / B+: tear in top right corner; minor restoration at edges; abrasions in image. Falcucci's career spanned multiple decades and several thematic milieus. He began designing car racing posters for the Monaco Grand Prix in 1930, and went on to design travel posters and images for Air France. His later work is punctuated by bright, near fluorescent colors. Here, he uses a simple, stylized map to show the many routes by which Algeria is accessible from France and other parts of Europe. To emphasize the speed used to make the trip, he portrays two steaming vehicles cruising powerfully toward their destinations.
