Description

The greatest poster artists have put their talent at the service of the Green Fairy. Cappiello, Lem, Misti, Privat-Livemont, Tamagno... are among the most well-known. Through the 83 posters presented, one is struck by the modernity of the advertising concept of the time, which relies, as today, on two essential criteria: social success and female eroticism. Each poster serves as a medium for the brand's history, reinforced by additional documents. Many ambiguities are clarified, such as signatures, dates, and the identities of the characters depicted. A biography of the illustrators and a study of the printers complete the ouvrage.Volume No. 4 of the Artemisia collection. 330 color photos.
