For a brief time, in the late
1930s, the Cubist-Art Deco master posterist,
A.M. Cassandre, embarked on a series of stunning
Surrealist-inspired covers for the American
fashion magazine, Harper’s Bazaar.
Thereby, Cassandre would have been captivated by
the audacity of Surrealist range, from the
depths to the shallows, in order to bring home a
big catch of those customers whose elusiveness
had driven him to the brink of abandoning
commercial graphics.
In our gallery, not only
Cassandre’s small format graphics, but those of
other designers, offer a glimpse of the energies
streaming out from the premise that everyone
loves uncanniness. |
