Jean Carlu
Jean Carlu was born in France, 1900. He came from a family of architects and studied that profession. At the age of eighteen he lost his right arm and then turned to graphic design instead. Carlu had a fascination of angular forms and elements of cubism. Carlu decided to create a symbolic language in which colour, line and content would represent emotional values. His work achieved a distinctive, streamlined economy, rarely incorporating an narrative or illustrative elements. Carlu spent some time in the United States and designed a number of posters for the government.
A M Cassandre
A M Cassandre was born in Ukraine, in 1901. He became a poster artist and designed hundreds of posters in a bold, geometric, Art Deco style. Cassandre's posters are noticed for the emphasis on typography. From 1934 he taught at an Art Deco art school and then ran an art school of his own for a while. From 1936 to 1939 Cassandre lived in New York where he freelanced as a commercial artist.
In 1963, Cassandre designed Yves Saint Laurent's monogram.
