"L'Auto s'affiche" (The Automobile in Posters), French Book by Thierry Favre.
Prefaced by Louis Schweitzer, this book unveils a formidable collection of graphic posters illustrating automobile history. This retrospective allows an understanding of artistic trends and the evolution of advertising while discovering the manufacturers, luxury models, common vehicles, trucks, coaches, and other racing cars.
The golden age of the graphic poster began in 1880 in the railway tourism sector.
The photographic poster has been successful and has dominated the market since the 1970s.
The poster is related to the development of the automobile industry at the beginning of the 20th century. It expresses an advertising message, but also becomes a mode of artistic expression in its own right.
Thanks to the talent of artists like Pal, Mich, Vincent, Mauzan, Geo Ham, Kow, Cassandre, Savignac, and many others, the poster strikes the imagination of passers-by. It entertains, inspires dreams, and innovates. The graphic print expresses all the major artistic trends, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco.
It is paradoxical to note that the woman's omnipresence in the image largely contributed to the birth of the myth of the Automobile.
After World War I, the automotive landscape changed a lot, most 416 brands counted around 1910, disappeared for different reasons: non-competitiveness of assemblers, too rapid technical development, and damage correlated with the conflict. On the other hand, new brands resulting, in particular, from the formidable evolution of military aviation from 1915 to 1919 appear: Voisin, Farman, and Hotchkiss wanted to branch out from machine guns.
Curiously the big car companies made few or no cars during the war as they were requisitioned to produce shells, bombs, and tanks.
But they have improved their production tool and suddenly have strengthened.
In France Berliet, Citroën, Peugeot, Renault, and Unie, in Germany, Audi and Mercedes Benz, and in England, Austin and Morris are rationalizing and increasing their production with the idea of producing mid-range cars with less ostentatious luxury.
It is hard to paint even an incomplete panorama - because only the big brands can afford designers like Cappiello, Falcucci, Vincent, and Hohlwein (in Germany) and produce high-quality posters. The medium-sized firms have good drawings published in L'illustration Magazine, which enjoyed great prestige in the 1920s. Most poster prints show Roadsters, Cabriolets, or Coupes with 2 to 4 seats or convertibles. Limousines are rather luxury and prestige products.
Between 1920 and 1925, the posters became simpler, as the style evolved. Increasingly graphic representations appeared over the years and heralded the artistic movement later called Art Deco.
The women are still present, but it will show that they have taken their place at the wheel and bear witness to the upheaval in mentality and society.
