Ernst Lubbert was a classic German artist of the Art Deco period. (German, 1879-1915) His hard-to-find works most often portray the haute monde, high society folks of German or Austrian background at events which seems to suit them best - dining, dancing, or just entertaining each other. His color palatte is usually restrained, but make sthe most of bold crimsons, reds, and usually black. Reminding us of Ludwig Hohlwien, a contemporary and country-man, Lubberts work makes us wish that Belle Epoque Berlin hadnt taken place almost 100 years ago.This poster for Cardinal, produced in 1911, is exceptionally beautiful, and like all of Lubbert's pieces, a must for collectors of Jugenstil, Art Deco and classic designs. 27,5 x 36,5 #1094   « Less

Mathieu, Georges 23,5 x 39 Produced for Air France in 1968, this is one of a collection of 14 posters which highlights some of the airline's most popular destinations. They were purchased from a woman who purchased them in 1968 and were in the original AF tube . They have never been framed and are excellent to very good condition. I have recently had them professionally linen lined in order to protect their physical integrity as well as to preserve their colors and investment value. They will frame up beautifully and are magnificent. Each poster measures 23. 5 inches by 39 inches. We think these posters would look great in a travel agency, and international setting or a large conference center ... they are colorful, spectacular and rather magnificent. This one, featuring India uses imagery and colors of that country as a background for Matthieu's fabulous imagination... French painter, Georges Mathieu gained an international reputation in the 1950Õs as a leading Abstract Expressionist. His large paintings are created very rapidly and impulsively. Despite his unconventional technique, he considers himself a historical painter working with abstract subject matter. Matthieu was born into a family of bankers and first studied law and philosphy before deciding to turn to the visual arts. In 1947, when he exhibited at the Salon of New Realities, he exhibited a cloth made of texture spots springing directly from the tube in a technique attributed to Jackson Pollock. He later exhibited in the United States and Japan. Not content with being 'just a painter', Mattieu has invented a 'lifestyle' which for him is the raison d'etre of an artist: this belief is most evident wth is work as editor of a multi-disciplinary magazine devoted to the arts. Mattieu is still active in the arts world in France and around the world. Please note that all of our posters are vintage, non-reproduction works of art. #1101   « Less

André Menard 14 x 21 One of the things about posters produced during the first (and second) World War is the fact that even the most banal and basic messages took on added and poignant importance. There are a myriad of posters available in all languages which implore the populations to conserve tobacco so that the soldiers ('our boys on the front) can have enough tobacco for their cigarettes, or cigars, or pipes... This poster falls within that category. In an upturned soldiers helmet, the message is clear 'use less so they have more'. A small, and well conserved gem. Poster is in excellent condition, mounted in linen and measures 14 x 21 inches.   « Less
