VIIIe Salon des Arts Ménagers. 1931.
Est: $2,000 - $2,500
ARTIST: FRANCIS BERNARD (1900-1979) SIZE: 24 1/2 x 38 5/8 in./62 x 98 cm PRINTER: Éditions Paul Martial, Paris DESCRIPTION: “The Ideal Home Exhibition was born in 1923 in the form of a home appliance competition organized on the initiative of Jules-Louis Breton, former Undersecretary of State for inventions during the war of 1914-1918, originator and first director of the National Office of Scientific and Industrial Research and Inventions... Created at first to reward inventors for the best home appliances, the Salon very quickly saw a great diversification of activities, including everything that contributed to the comforts of a home. Among the topics of the sometimes transitory or quasi-permanent sections of the Salon, one finds dwelling (displays of architecture and design), furnishings, home economics, gastronomy, etc. Beginning in 1930, Francis Bernard became the poster artist who attracted attention to the Salon. He created a ‘Mechanical Maid’ symbolizing modern techniques at the service of a traditional cleaning lady that he would go back to unceasingly again and again until the 1960s, much like Loupot did with his Saint-Raphaël personages” (Affiche Réclame, p. 49). Originally a caricaturist, Bernard began working exclusively as a designer for Paul Martial around 1927. The association gave him the opportunity to become a first-class graphic designer.

Dietrich.

ARTIST: FRANCIS BERNARD (1900-1979) SIZE: 61 x 89 3/8 in./154.8 x 227 cm PRINTER: Editions Paul-Martial, Paris DESCRIPTION: To advertise Dietrich’s “Diamond” radiators, Bernard creates a two-sheet poster with a geometric business man sitting happily in a club chair. The photomontage appliance next to him emits a radiant glow along with a stream of text that circles around the figure’s head like a halo, and ultimately lands in his wallet—which further emphasizes the 150-350 francs that we’ll ultimately save. The slogan itself is a rhyming French jingle which translates to “Buy a Diamond and save money.” (Art Deco; Technology)

ARTIST: FRANCIS BERNARD (1900-1979) SIZE: 59 1/8 x 90 5/8 in./150.2 x 230.2 cm PRINTER: Edition Paul-Martial, Paris DESCRIPTION: Originally a caricaturist, Bernard began working exclusively as a designer for Paul Martial around 1927. The association gave him the opportunity to become a first-class graphic designer. This two-sheet poster is Bernard’s extremely unusual—and rare—image for the Parisian wine dealer and distributor Nicolas. Most of the company’s advertising features the famous delivery man Nectar, effortlessly handling whole clusters of bottles. Here we get a stylized faceless figure, which is entirely different, and powerful just the same. See also his Aeroshell poster, No. 26. (Art Deco; Alcohol)

ARTIST: FRANCIS BERNARD (1900-1979) SIZE: 30 1/4 x 45 1/2 in./77 x 115.4 cm PRINTER: Editions Paul Martial, Paris DESCRIPTION: The typography is perhaps the only giveaway that this image was created during the Art Deco period; otherwise, it could almost be mistaken for a contemporary design. “Like Cassandre in France and McKnight Kauffer in England, Francis Bernard absorbed the influences of the art and design movements of his era: Cubism, Purism, Machine Age, Constructivist typographic design and photomontage” (Bernard introduction). Several scholars lament the fact that Bernard was largely overlooked in his day; he was perhaps too Avant Garde for the tastes of the time. But this stylish photomontage seems ripe for appreciation now. For another by Bernard, see No. 29. (Art Deco; Bicycles; Motorcycles)

ARTIST: FRANCIS BERNARD (1900-1979) SIZE: 24 1/2 x 39 3/4 in./62 x 101 cm PRINTER: Editions Paul Martial, Paris DESCRIPTION: Although the boat in the far distance is only a tiny photographic fragment, this poster marks the beginning of Bernard’s revolutionary experimentation with photo-collage. It’s a clean and dynamic image advertising trips to Morocco via Compagnie Paquet’s passenger ships. “It is safe to say that the Compagnie Paquet alone accounted for over a third of all the posters for Morocco... Although the company’s domination of maritime transport to and from Morocco was the reason for this apparent fascination, no other country can claim to have been promoted with such sustained enthusiasm by a shipping company. A possible explanation for this lies in the history of a company which, from the moment of its creation, had always been closely linked to Morocco. Today, a square in Casablanca still bears the name of the founder of the company, Nicolas Paquet” (Orientalist, p. 27). (Art Deco; Travel)
