After World War I, France, the original source of poster
inspiration (as indeed of all progressive art movements), recovered the
glory of Cheret through the refreshingly new poster techniques of A. M.
Cassandre, Jean Carlu, Charles Loupot and others of that experimental
school. They relied more on symbolism and on a free decorative motif than
on literal interpretation of subject matter, Cassandre's work, in particular,
shows a leaning to the new art movements borrowed from the Monet and Manet
and Picasso schools of modern painting. These French poster artists are
designers, not illustrators, as are so many of our American poster artists.
