A. M. Cassandre Nord Express 1927

The "Nord Express, 1927" poster, designed by A.M. Cassandre, is a iconic vintage piece commissioned to promote the Nord Express, a prestigious European train service. Created in 1927, it features a dynamic, stylized depiction of a train in motion, rendered with bold geometric shapes, sharp angles, and a limited color palette dominated by blues and grays. This design exemplifies the Early Modern Graphic Design Style (1910–1935), particularly influenced by Art Deco and the Machine Age aesthetic, reflecting the era's fascination with technology and speed. This poster contributes significantly to the history of graphic design by showcasing Cassandre’s innovative approach, blending typography and imagery into a cohesive, forward-thrusting composition.
