French poster designer and painter. His real name was Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron. He was born in Kharkov, Russia, and settled in Paris from 1915. His innovative geometric compositions brought a breath of fresh air to the French poster world from the 1920s to the 1930s. His techniques are said to be in the style of cubism or purism, but what is significant is that he eliminated the "painterly" element from posters and created a unique world for posters. He is known not only for his compositional style, but also for his eccentric ideas, such as his poster for a Western liquor company (1932). He worked in the United States from 1936 to 1938, but after returning to Japan he abandoned his career as a poster artist and devoted himself to painting and stage sets.

フランスのポスター・デザイナー、画家。本名Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron。ロシアのハリコフで生まれ、1915年からパリに定住。斬新(ざんしん)な幾何学的構成で、20年代から30年代にかけてのフランスのポスター界に新風をもたらした。その手法は立体派風とも純粋主義風ともいわれるが、むしろポスターからの「絵画性」を除外して、ポスター独自の世界を築いた点に意義がある。単に構成的であるだけでなく、洋酒会社のポスター(1932)などの奇抜な着想によっても知られている。1936~38年はアメリカで仕事をしたが、帰国後はポスター作家の道を捨て、絵画と舞台装置に専念した。 [高見堅志郎] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
