Artwork Details
Artist: Noël Fontanet (1898–1982)
Title: "Fine Calvados"
Circa: 1930
Style: Art Deco
Publisher: Sonor, Geneva
Description: The poster features three highly stylized men with magenta-colored faces, each wearing an oversized black top hat and a monocle. They are depicted in an elegant fashion, appearing to sample Calvados (French apple brandy) from slender-stemmed glasses, an image designed to promote the aspirational, decadent consumption of the era.
The design is well-known for its simple, triple geometric forms and striking use of color, which are hallmarks of Fontanet's work and the Geneva school of graphic design, which was largely inspired by French Art Deco.
