THOR BOGELUND (1890-1959) PARIS I KOBENHAVN. 1945.
33 1/2x24 1/2 inches. Andreasen & Lachman, Copenhagen.
Condition A-: wrinkles and creases in image.
A lively and exciting pastiche of images and typography reminiscent of a design by Austin Cooper for the Southern Railway. This one day event,"Paris in Copenhagen," must have been some kind of post-war salute and celebration or fundraiser. The imagery focuses on Paris' most recognized monument, newspaper, nightlife and overall vitality that had been squelched by the occupying German forces.
