This poster was the focus of the French exhibit at the 1928 Advertising Art Exhibition in Munich.
One of the masterpieces of French Art Deco poster style, it is a perfect symbolic image and an ingenious
use of the airbrush technique. Throughout his artistic life Francis Bernard worked for the
Salon des
Arts Ménagers
as well as many other major companies such as Nicolas and Black & Decker. Modern
