Mid 20th Century Rene Gruau - Relax..., Compagnie Maritime Des Chargeurs

Mid-century French travel poster designed by Rene Gruau (French-Italian, 1909-2004), one of the 20th century's most influential fashion illustrators and advertising artists. Created for the French shipping company Compagnie Maritime des Chargeurs Reunis, the composition depicts an elegantly dressed woman reclining in a deck chair aboard an ocean liner, her face shaded by an oversized yellow hat. Gruau's characteristic bold outlines and sophisticated use of color capture the glamour and leisure associated with postwar ocean travel. Inscribed "relax..." at upper left and bearing Gruau's signature at upper right. Circa 1954-1961. Presented in a black frame. Framed size: 28.5" W x 42.5" H.
