Cassandre

Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron, better known as A. M. Cassandre, was a French painter, lithographer, master of advertising posters and type designer. The innovation of Cassandre's posters was noted by artists such as Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso.

He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Juliane. In 1936 his work was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as part of a presentation for Harper's Bazaar. He was then invited by Alexey Brodovitch, the magazine's art director, to collaborate with Harper's Bazaar. Between 1936 and 1939 Cassandre designed over 40 surrealist covers for the magazine.

He joined the French army at the beginning of the Second World War. After the French surrender, his agency's work was curtailed and Cassandre designed sets, props and costumes for the theatre. After the war, he continued this line of work, occasionally returning to painting.

In 1963, Cassandre designed the logo of the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent.
