Deco Bordeaux Nude Travel Poster
Nude fruits of the city.In all of his posters, Dupas presented highly stylized, very fashionable people in idealized and extravagant settings. In this poster created for the 1937 World's Fair, he gives us an allegorical composition in which the nude representing the city samples of its best achievements: fine architecture, shipping and of course, the famous Bordeaux wine. The original poster has sold at auction for $3,000 - $4,000.
