Poster Details
Artist: Marcello Nizzoli (1887-1969), a versatile Italian industrial designer and artist.
Company: FN (Fabrique Nationale de Herstal), a Belgian manufacturer primarily known for arms and ammunition, which also produced popular motorcycles from 1901 to 1967.
Dealer: Leon Houard, whose shop was located at Boulevard du Jardin Zoologique 7, Gand (Ghent).
Design Concept: The striking Art Deco design features a silhouette of a man in black riding a motorcycle, with a woman in a red outfit riding pillion (on the back seat). The woman is calmly applying lipstick using a small mirror, a clever visual metaphor intended to emphasize the motorcycle's exceptionally smooth and comfortable ride. |
