Jean Carlu

Jean Carlu's work was influenced by the geometric shapes of Cubism and he achieved a streamlined economy of form.  Carlu spent the years of World War II in the United States where he designed posters for the war effort.  I would agree that his designs and compositions are effecient.  I find the Gift Packages For Hitler! poster to be very clean indeed.
