A seagull takes center stage in this 1917 poster for the Exposition des Peintres de la Mer, an exhibition of artists who painted the sea. The date places it in the third year of the First World War, when French cultural life continued in modest forms to sustain civilian spirits during the conflict. Posters like this were meant to be pasted on walls and kiosks, so they relied on bold shapes that could be read quickly from a distance. The seagull's simple silhouette suggests the coast and the subject of the show without the need for a full seascape.
