Description
This remarkable 1937 poster showcases A. M. Cassandre’s masterful Art Deco sensibility in a composition that elegantly merges commercial messaging with fine art. A stylized hand profile forms the central motif, filled with vibrant floral imagery—peonies, daisies, and botanical elements rendered in bold purples, pinks, and yellows. An airplane soars gracefully across the composition, symbolizing swift delivery, while the text “SAY IT WITH TELEFLOWERS” anchors the design. The piece exemplifies Cassandre’s genius for creating visually arresting imagery that captures both the romance of flowers and the modernity of technological progress—a perfect visual metaphor for commerce and modern enterprise.
About the Artist
Adolphe Jean Marie Cassandre (1901–1968) stands as one of the world’s foremost Art Deco artists and remains extremely collectible for both his original artwork and vintage posters. Renowned for his revolutionary approach to commercial design, Cassandre elevated poster art to the status of fine art through his mastery of color, form, and symbolic composition. In 1937, Cassandre created only four poster designs for Fortune Magazine—this is one of those exceedingly rare four designs. His work represents the pinnacle of Art Deco achievement and continues to influence graphic designers worldwide.
