To promote this safety glass, Cassandre designed one of his strongest images - a nearly monochromatic
poster. Every detail of this stylized driver, (his wide eyes fixed on the road ahead and his hands tightly
grasping the steering wheel), helps to evoke his complete concentration. The only thing between the
driver and the potential dangers of the road is a rectangle of Triplex glass. The graphic message is so
simple and strong that no words are necessary. Cassandre pl. 26, Weill 340, Word & Image p. 80,
Müller-Brockmann p. 89, Brown & Reinhold p. 52. Avant Garde p. 161, Reina Sofia p. 175.
