Robert Pichon

ortelius

Robert Pichon and his workshop were specialized in graphic design for advertising and active in the years 1910-1940. All his works are executed in a wonderfully characteristic Art Deco style.

His works include a variety of the hallmark themes of the Art Deco period, with designs influenced by Fauvist color and Cubist composition. Subject matter ranges from figurative, including flora, fauna, and Classical mythology, to abstract geometric motifs. Robert Pichon worked for the Lorilleux printing house for which he realized many models in the 1920/1930. He also worked frequently for the magazine Caractère and mainly for the special Christmas issues.

We offer a nice selection of original commercial designs for the Tabaco industries, and a nice selection of designs depicting young women. These gouaches are mounted on cards and are inscribed with the design's model number, with the original glassine. The works are executed in a wonderfully characteristic Art Deco style.
