Jean Carlu (1900 - 1997) was a French graphic designer, specialized in posters. He was member of a family of architects and studied to enter that profession; his brother Jacques Carlu for example designed the Palais de Chaillot in Paris.

After an accident at the age of eighteen in which he lost his right arm, Carlu turned to graphic design. His early work reveals a fascination with the angular forms and spatial nuances of Cubism. As his work evolved over the next two decades, it continued to show a concern with the geometric shapes of Cubism, but this was manifested in very different ways. He sought to create a symbolic language in which color, line, and content would represent emotional values. His work thus achieved a distinctive, streamlined economy of form, rarely incorporating narrative or illustrative elements.

Carlu spent the years of World War II in the United States, where he executed a number of important poster designs for the government's war effort. Characterized by the same scientific precision of form as his other work, these designs were well suited to the promotion of industrial efficiency. Even to this day, both American and international design traditions continue to reflect his influence.
