EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning poster design announces the International Exhibition of Trade and Industry, held in Paris from May to November 1937. The poster, a vibrant and dynamic work of art in its own right, was created by the renowned French graphic designer Paul Colin. The image features a bold and confident female figure, her head tilted to the side as she gazes out at the viewer with a determined expression. Her hair is swept back in a chic, modern style, framing her face and drawing the eye to the title of the exhibition. The colors used, a bold red and deep blue, add to the sense of energy and excitement, while the clean lines and geometric shapes bring a sense of modernity and progress. The International Exhibition of Trade and Industry was a significant event in the history of the 1930s, attracting visitors from all over the world to showcase the latest innovations and advancements in industry and technology. The exhibition was held in the Palais de la Porte Dorée, a grand building designed by architect Georges-Henri Pingusson, and featured pavilions representing various countries and industries. Paul Colin was a leading figure in the French graphic design scene of the time, known for his bold and innovative designs. He created posters for various exhibitions, theaters, and companies, and his work continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance. This particular poster for the International Exhibition of Trade and Industry is a testament to the creativity and vision of the time, and a reminder of the important role that design plays in shaping our cultural and historical narrative.
