The
Dubo-Dubon-Dubonnet
“mascot” is certainly one of Cassandre’s most memorable creations. Such
was its appeal that his character has graced everything from ashtrays to menus to fans, helping make
Dubonnet one of the most popular French aperitifs. The funny little man, sitting at a bistro table, who
fills himself with color as he drinks is a brilliant conceit that has become a landmark of French pop
culture. He was used to advertise the product outside of France, as well as seen here in this Danish
printing which faithfully reuses the 1932 image. This is the larger format. Reina Sofia p. 184 (var).
