La Plage de Calvi Corse - Broders

This rare poster by master artist, Roger Broders is an excellent example of Art Deco design in a charming color palette. The beach of Calvi, in Corsica is shown here in an expertly simplified block of yellow, beach parasols devolve into mere circles, and yet we have all the visual information we could need to see the beauty and appeal of a vacation on the sea in Corsica. The bathing beauty toweling off, eyes closed in bliss, further cements the draw of a summer on the water.Roger Broders (1883-1953) was a French artist and illustrator working in the early twentieth century. He is well known for his many travel posters, which feature scenic regions of France. He developed a simple design format that showcased the location with bold colors and minimal text. He often traveled to the locations he pictured via his sponsor P.L.M. railways. Broders’ relationship with P.L.M. began through a connection with his wife, which would prove fortuitous for the artist. Although his posters are well known and highly sought after, he produced less than 100 designs in his life.Watch a conversation on the works of Roger Broders with Gallery founder and principal Mickey Ross, here: http://ow.ly/9w953094B06 This is an Original Vintage Poster.
