Before television, before the internet, before the algorithm — there was the poster. In the golden age of commercial art, from the Belle Époque to the mid-twentieth century, the world's greatest graphic artists competed for the public walls of Paris, London, and beyond. The result was a body of work that was simultaneously commerce and culture — vivid, witty, and often breathtakingly beautiful. Art that sold something, and became something more.
