A wonderful original art deco poster by master poster designer Adolphe Mouron Cassandre. The Oiseau Bleu started as a luxury train operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits as their second Pullman service between Belgium and France.
L'Oiseau Bleu (or the Oiseau Bleu) was an international express train linking Antwerp with Paris. The train was named after the play L'Oiseau Bleu as a tribute to its author, the Belgian Nobel prize laureate Maurice Maeterlinck.
Cassandre is perhaps best known for his posters advertising travel, for clients such as the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. His posters are memorable for their innovative graphic solutions and their frequent denotations to such painters as Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso.
His beautiful posters are very sought after and fetch high prices by collectors.
L'oiseau bleu is French for "The Blue Bird".
Mounted on linen. Imagine this poster on your wall!
