A classic poster, measuring approx. 16.5 x 22 inches, by the master Art Deco artist known as Andre Wilquin. In a book on Wilquin, written in French and published by the Agence Culturelle de Paris in 1991, it is said that the ''Andre Wilquin detested certain words: art and beauty had no place in conversations which were always pleasant, filled with anecdotes and with precise details. He didn''t like phonies. He was quick to suggest that his work came primarily from intuition: every poster came about spontaneously from the requirements of the client. But the truth is a little more layered: Wilquin was blessed with huge reserves of technical skills but also with an equal amount of tricks (he loved tricks!) which permitted him a quick and efficient turn around time for his clients and accounts. Andre Wilquin wouldn''t otherwise have been able to practise his art fro fifty years with his precise, detailed style, without having acquired a certain productivity...'' Of this particular poster the same publication writes: '' We see here that the designer was not against energetic graphic solutions. It couldnt be more simple: a large foreground of black, typography limited to the name of the product, hairstyle which is well place and which places a high value on the product wich is being advertised.'' Simple, effective and totally Wilquin. Piece is framed and will be shipped framed.
