Adolphe Mouron Cassandre (1901 - 1968) was born in Kharkov, Ukraine. Cassandre eventually settled in Paris in 1915. The blooming artist studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the independent studio of Lucien Simon and l’Académie Julian. Throughout his life, he pursued many career paths and was well-known as a graphic designer, painter, poster artist and stage designer. After completing his education, Cassandre moved to his own studio in 1922 in Paris. It was there that he began signing his works with the pseudonym “Cassandre.” Inspired by cubism and surrealism, Cassandre created the first poster that exemplified his unique style in 1923. This work, called Au Bûcheron was created for a cabinet maker.
In 1925, Au Bûcheron was awarded first place at Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. Thus began Cassandre’s successful career as an artist and designer.
Over the years, Cassandre garnered a successful reputation with his posters such as Étoile du Nord and Dubo Dubon Dubonnet. The Dubonnet posters were very unique because the design was created to be seen from fast-moving vehicles. The poster introduced and completed an idea with successive posters. His work created a bridge between fine art and commercial art. He was a master of airbrushing techniques and created seamless artworks that were successful not only in Europe but also in the United States. Cassandre’s work demonstrates the sleek, architectonic styles of Art Deco.
