Affiche Peugeot à Indianapolis, d’après René Vincent, Circa - Lot 3

Affiche Peugeot à Indianapolis, d’après René Vincent, Circa 1916 René VINCENT (1879-1936) Color lithograph on paper Signed lower right: René Vincent Imprimerie Draeger, Paris Size: 158 x 116 cm Canvas poster. Traces of moisture, scratches and slight tears. The artist's poster features a dynamic drawing of a racing driver at the wheel of a Peugeot, probably an L-76 that raced at Indianapolis. A strong, dynamic image underlined by Peugeot's beautiful, instantly readable typography, this poster packs a real punch. René Vincent conveys the feeling of speed, power and refinement of Peugeot automobiles! The vehicle seems to be flying at high speed - hurtling towards a sure victory - leaving behind a cloud of dust, revealing the colors of the French flag in this plume of smoke. This is one of René Vincent's finest creations. Bibliography : Revue pratique de l'automobile Omnia, July 1920, poster design reproduced on p. 207.
