He intended to continue his family tradition and would have followed through with it\u2014if it weren&#8217;t for a tragic road accident that resulted in him losing his right arm at the age of 18. Due to this incident, he turned to graphic and commercial arts, not knowing that he would be one of the biggest contributors to commercial art and poster designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlu found himself working for an advertising agency where he developed his love and style of angular forms and spatial nuances that were commonly associated with Cubism. His style was original in his time and could be characterized by his clever designs, along with his use of lithography, gouache, and repetitive imagery of hands\u2014which could also be associated with how his accident had ultimately influenced his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul

But the more I looked at it, the more I saw his use of subtle repetition. I was astounded when I saw that the bird&#8217;s body could be interpreted as a tittle of a lowercase &#8216;i&#8217;. The entire bird could even be seen as two lowercase i&#8217;s together as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s safe to say that Jean Carlu&#8217;s contribution to commercial art can really go down in history, along with his backstory to why he started his career in the first place and how he contributed in history. As one of the first graphic designers to recognize the value of clean lines, strong colours, and having a brand image in mind with the audience and public in mind, Carlu&#8217;s posters are powerful and communicative works of art and design. It without a doubt that he was one of the most influential designers during the interwar transatlantic design world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Works Cited<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJean Carlu.\u201d <em>GD 203<\/em>, https:\/\/go.distance.ncsu.edu\/gd203\/?p=24902.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJean Carlu.\u201d <em>Jean Carlu | Biography | People | Collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum<\/em>, https:\/\/collection.cooperhewitt.org\/people\/68738547\/bio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Logemann, Jan. \u201cJean Carlu.\u201d <em>Transatlantic Perspectives<\/em>, German Historical Institute, 29 July 2018, https:\/\/www.transatlanticperspectives.org\/entries\/jean-carlu\/#:~:text=Jean%20Carlu%20was%20a%20renowned,agency%20from%201919%20to%201921.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between a Car and a Hard Place: A Tragic but Impactful Fate Jean Carlu was born into a family of architects in Bonni\u00e8res, France in 1900.
