Original French advertising poster for Bonal Gentiane Quina designed by A.M. Cassandre. This example is the rarer pink background version of the design. The composition features a stylized figure drinking Bonal, with the liquid transforming into pink stars within the body. A key appears over the stomach, visually suggesting the idea promoted by the product: Bonal “opens the appetite.” The bold geometry and simplified forms are characteristic of Cassandre’s modernist approach to poster design.
Adolphe Mouron Cassandre (1901–1968) was one of the most important commercial artists of the twentieth century. A poster designer, painter, lithographer, and creator of typefaces, he combined influences from avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Neue Sachlichkeit with the demands of commercial advertising. His work helped define the modern graphic language of the interwar period.
