ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953)
LA ROUTE DES ALPES. Circa 1920.
42x30 1/2 inches, 106 3/4x77 1/2 cm. Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions at edges.
In this, one of his earliest travel posters, Broders masterfully employs his signature use of depth of field, with the vegetation and people in the foreground and the route from Nice to Geneva in the background. His depiction of the people touring the Alps by motor coach is straightforward and illustrative, bearing none of the Art Deco stylization that became his hallmark in his works from later in the decade. Broders p. 66, Perry / Broders p. 57, Hillion p. 252.
