Juan Antonio Rodríguez

You are bidding an a fully authorized reissue in lithograph of one of the most famous art déco posters of all time titled La Route Bleue 
“Created in 1929 by A. M. Cassandre, this original poster promotes the luxury coach service linking London, Paris, and the Côte d’Azur - an initiative jointly operated by the Chemins de Fer du Nord, PLM, and the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits. Printed by L. Danel in Lille.

The strikingly disciplined composition depicts a road vanishing into infinity beneath a double row of stylized black trees rendered with bold geometric precision. At the center, a piercing blue sky cuts a shaft of light, like a corridor heading south - a promise of travel and luxury. The horizon recedes, the rhythm of the trunks pulses: everything in this image suggests speed, comfort, and refinement.

The minimalist drawing contrasts with the typographic impact, as the words “Route Bleue” assert themselves in bold, two-tone capitals. The limited palette - midnight blues, deep blacks, and bright whites - reinforces a modern aesthetic that is both functional and poetic.”.

This lithograph reissue in offset lithograph is printed on luxury Japanese paper.
Publish by CIWILT in 1989.
An original version fetches as high as 22’000€ so this is a a great opportunity to have a qualitative offset lithograph replica for a fraction of the price!
