About this poster

Coulon studied architecture before moving to Paris, where he spent most of his professional life. He is best remembered for having invented the "lettre sujet" (letter - subject), which entailed building the images of products he was promoting using the gigantic letters of their names. In this wonderful poster in the Art Deco styl, Coulon was using only three colors and created a strong and dynamic poster with a brilliant sense of composition. From 1922 to 1934 the Klausen Rennen was the most famous of all the Alpine mountain-climbing car races, and many prominent artists designed images to promote the race
