Scauflaire was a Belgian painter who regularly exhibited his works throughout Belgium as well as at
various Biennials throughout Europe. He studied at the
Académie des Beaux Arts
in Liége, where he
was born. Many of his paintings reflect the influence of Picasso and Braque. He also designed murals
and tapestries. This soft, Art Deco, aquatic allegory is one of at least two posters used to promote this
World’s Fair.
