Jean Carlu
America's Answer! Production
1942
Art Deco
Jean Carlu was a French graphic designer, specialised in posters. He made posters during World War II to promote an increase in American production. I find this piece compelling because of the composition. The way each object is placed on the page allows your eyes to go all over the page. It is also very provocative. This poster was made while World War II was happening. A time when America needed production and Jean Carlu designed many posters for this effort. I really like how the 'O' in 'Production' is made to look like a bolt and the huge hand on the poster is tightening it.
