An intensely erotic, seductive portrait of the captivating Carlo, looking both utterly easily relaxed, and provocative - the angling of his hips and raised arm playing in his own hair, he seems to be proudly displaying that lovely body and inviting admiration. Do take a moment to view this full size, it’s an unusually large image and really something when you see him up close - those sultry dark lashes on closed lids, long lean curves, he’s beautiful from the ends of his curled fingers to the tips of his toes!
A flame-haired Femme Fatale, dressed in black, launches this midnight-blue beast of an auto into the foggy night: a masterpiece! Exceptionally rare, this poster finds Loupot at the absolute apex of his transition period between Switzerland and France, between domestic traditionalism and aggressive Modernist experimentation. According to Loupot’s son, Jean-Marie, until this point Loupot was hired by printers; this was likely his first direct commission from the advertiser (alongside his wildly successful Philippossian Cigarettes, see PAI-LXX, 443). The typeface, with which he’d been experimenting with since at least the previous year (see “Plantol,” PAI-XXI, 270) now achieves a refined state of Deco precision. This poster appears to be the sole remnant of any flirtation the advertiser Charles Philippossian had with the auto industry. However, it’s clear that the brilliance of this piece served as Loupot’s introduction to an entirely new market, as a creator of the new Art Deco aesthetic. In the following years, he’d create superb work for Swiss Grand Prix autos and motorcycles; Austin Tractors; and Voisin Autos, before defining the industrial Art Deco aesthetic at the 1925 Expo, and with classics such as “Stop-Fire.” An important work by this artist. Exceptionally rare.
Just love it when we could chill and I found the Travelers to be very adorable mixing drinks during this event! Super late, but I had to try. Anywho, here’s some doodles I’ve made for practice! Have Aether wearing a bartender uniform much like Charle’s but it’s a croptop because of course it is. Let me know in the comments below if you guys like any of the names I suggested if ever the twins do settle down and start their own little bussiness or if you have ideas of your own! I’d be happy to know them! Either way, I hope you guys enjoyed! =D
