TRANSCRIPT
P O S T E R S
is a French award winning poster artist based
in Paris. Since 1989, his posters have been shown
in over 160 international exhibitions, have been
published in specialized books and they belong
to public and private collections as in Beijing,
Hamburg, Paris, New York…
The Art of Poster
Poster art is an heritage
The industrial revolutions of the modern times have
produced needs for new spaces, new products and
new messages. The design was born. One of its
most symbolic media, the poster, find its roots in
centuries of painting and cultures. Some graphic
designers, like François Caspar, have dedicated their
art to poster. Caspar’s influences are in particular
surrealism, dada, constructivism and primitives,
and the masters Adolphe Mouron Cassandre for
construction of image, John Hartfield for political
involvement, Roman Cieslewicz for generosity and
Raymond Savignac for his humor.
The Heart of Poster
Pieces of heart
What are we made of? Experiments of life? The soul
of a poster is the heart of the artist who designed it.
The heart feels, the mind understands. The poster
artist François Caspar searches in the heart of his
experiences to share universal stories, theatres
of lives.
Out of streets to your lounge
Further its primary purpose outdoor for a
limited time, a poster may find its place indoor
for a unlimited new existence, when its message
passes on values which connect with your mind
and your heart.
French poster tradition is so popular that the word
affichiste (and affiche, obviously) is used in many other
linguistic regions. The reasons for this are readily
identifiable. In the first place, the extraordinary juncture
that was Art Nouveau: a concentrate of technological
(lithography), aesthetic (the jilting of Western tradition)
and social innovation (the Ville Lumière). In addition to
Cassandre’s splendorous Art Deco; Savignac’s stylized
imagery; the Eastern European School’s links with the
world of posters, which became apparent in the work of its
emigrants (including Tomaszewsky and Cieslewicz); and,
finally, the public character of graphic design (celebrated
in a large exhibition held at the Beaubourg in 1984), whose
leading characters included groups such as Gapus and
individual artists like Michel Bouvet.
Establishing a dialogue with such a rich tradition
does not seem to pose a problem for François Caspar.
The efficiency of his work is not disturbed by the natural
attempt to place it within the folds of this tradition. First,
it is necessary to put Caspar’s professional trajectory in
context. For him, as for many other designers, a poster can
be a personal tool for linguistic research, be it because
it is a sophisticated medium, addressed to a public with
specific competences (as in the case of theatre posters, for
instance), or because it is based on a particularly incisive
approach, as in social communication. But, naturally, we
cannot justify this French designer’s attention to posters
based on a specific type of public alone; indeed, it remains
unchanged in products designed for different targets, as in
carnival or rock concert posters.
Rather, we should look to this author’s professional
experience, accumulated over twenty years of work, as well
as to his diverse range of clients and fields of intervention.
We should also observe the fact that these posters can
be elements of a changing identity: the series of posters
for the Théâtre de la Tête Noire, a coordinated image
based on a design idea of business-style (rather than
visual style) cut; somewhat similar to what Paula Scher
does for the Public Theater. In the case of Caspar, another
noteworthy feature is his involvement in furthering the
profession from his present post as President of the French
Designers Alliance, of which he is a founding member: a
multi-disciplinary professional association set up after the
experience of the Syndicat National des Graphistes had
worn thin, and whose name already makes reference to
other concepts of the trade.
Caspar, then, is a figure known in international circles
not only for his participation in biennials and conferences
around the globe, but also for his capacity to establish
relations with professionals and associations the world
over, without these being marred by individualist attitudes,
marked instead by the principles of a designer, and an
excellent one at that, whose aim has always been to
advance professional culture, starting in his own country.
We are speaking, then, of high-quality design, an awareness
of the international scene, a healthy pragmatism and,
finally, and this is evident in his production, an outstanding
image culture.
Thus we arrive at the roots of Caspar’s style. By style—
and we repeat this for the hundredth time—we refer to
different ways not of using shapes and colours, but of
tackling problems. The point is that to this day, even after
twenty years of professional activity, François shies away
from preconceived formulas. He steers clear of stylemes,
trademarks, pre-established iconographies, habitual
techniques and other such resources. He designs as if the
poster on which he is working was the last… or the first.
We are exaggerating, of course, because one cannot stop
feeling the vibration of common registers in the posters
that make up a series (the ones designed for the Théâtre
de la Tête Noire, already mentioned above, or those for the
Forum of Human Rights). Not keeping these registers would
be a waste. However, nobody can deny the fact that Caspar
has a creative exuberance. Though, authentic designer
that he is, in Caspar’s case this creative exuberance
stems from the practice, experience and functionality
of communication.
Carlo Branzaglia Experimenta, architecture and design magazine worldwide
François Caspar’s French “Affiche” traditionFrançois Caspar is driven by a creative exuberance. A designer with a vibrant eye, he uses
a combination of practice, experience, functionality and communication to confront his work.
For Caspar, a poster is a tool for linguistic research that has many levels of sophistication.
Widely known for his defence of professional culture, his work stands out for its high-quality,
its focus on the international scene, its pragmatism and its visual culture.

Why to linen-back a poster?
Linen backing is a method to mount and
preserve posters. This conservation technique,
originally from 19th century in France, improves
the appearance of a poster and increases its value.
Linen backed posters can be displayed directly
on walls or mounted on wooden stretcher frames,
without compromising their value, years after
years. They can also be framed behind a glass,
but as solvents contained in silkscreen’s inks need
to breath, glass is not recommend for long term
conservation.
This technique is used by museums and libraries
all over the globe, to protect and to stabilize the
poster. Linen backing allows you to handle, display,
frame, store and roll for shipping the poster.
Our linen backing is made by best professionals,
using only the finest canvases and water based
technique, reversible with water then. This
avoids to destroy the value of a poster once
applied, like acrylic paints, essentially made with
plastic, would do. Like for Centre Pompidou, Dior,
Galerie Maeght, the Louvres and Guggenheim
museums, it provides you the best quality of poster
conservation.

9.11 – In MemoriamSociety poster | 2002
“I designed this poster in September 2002 for the first commemoration of this dramatic event. I saw so many images in 2001, turning around for months and I was so chocked that I couldn’t add any one more. A year later, I needed to express myself about 9.11 and I sent this e-poster to all my friends on D-day. I wanted a silent image, a moment of reverence. I simplified the view of the buildings in order to focus on the event itself and use our memory. This imagewas published in magazines and newspaper then. Ten years later, it is still a date…” FC

Chile 1973, The other 9.11Society poster | 2007
There was another September 11th: the Pinochet coup in Chili, 1973, also a Tuesday. How to speak about an event I could not live like the terror attack in New York? I was five years old, we have only a few images of Chili from this time. How to preserve memory of History for future generations? Will they forget 9.11.2001 in like we forgot 9.11.1973? This is the official portrait of the president Salvador Allende, with the “11” shapes of my poster for NY.

Japan 3.11 EarthquakeEnvironment poster | 2011
“I came up with this image a few days after the eathquake and its consequences, sent it to my friends in Japan. It was then published and sold during the Pecha Kucha international day “Inspire Japan” (400 cities participated), April 16 in Marseille (France). All money collected with other artists was donated to the
association Architecture for Humanity in order to build a new school in Sendai. This e-poster is also taking part of Art Tails, a charity art books App for Japan, a group of professional artists and creators related in different ways to the Japanese Tohoku area cities and communities who have joined together in an effort to help Tohoku in simple, yet creative ways.” FC

Homage to Shigeo FukudaTribute poster | 2010
A selection among books featuring François Caspar’s workFrançois Caspar’s posters have been published in specialized magazines or books such as Art and design (China), Etapes (France),
Experimenta (Spain), Idea (Japan), Pixel Creation (France), Signes (France)… Here is a selection of three he is featured in.
New Masters of Poster Design By John Foster | English
Beautiful for a Moment “The nicest compliment I’ve had
is when a simple passerby said that seeing my poster
in his street has made his everyday life more beautiful for
a moment” says designer François Caspar. The impressive
list of galleries and museums that show his work and
the awards he has won probably feel pretty good as well.
Caspar’s bold sense of design, use of large central imagery,
and inherent playfulness generate a classic appeal with
a French twist.
One by One By Jianping He | English
The book features the work of 500 graphic designers
and illustrators worldwide, providing an extensive
overview of international contemporary design. Countries
like German, Switzerland, the USA, France and the
Netherlands dominates the list and China (mainland, Hong
Kong, Taiwan) and Japan dominating the Asian sector. The
book has a great, diverse selection ranging from Legendary
designers to the younger generation. This idealistic project
is dedicated to graphic designers around the world.
Design School Confidential By Steven Heller and Lita Talarico | English
Every great design school in the world is defined,
in part, by the work of its students at any given time.
The various project challenges given to a class determine
the success of a school’s pedagogy, but also the ingenuity
of its faculty and students. This book features fifty
real-world class assignments from top design programs
at universities around the world. Featured a course and
workshop of François Caspar at Maryse Eloy School of Art,
Paris and at University of Art and Design Helsinki.
