Jean Carlu (1900–1997) was a French graphic designer who specialised in posters. As Carlu’s work evolved over the next two decades, it continued to show a concern with the geometric shapes of Cubism, which manifested itself in very different ways. Carlu sought to create a symbolic language in which color, line, and content would represent emotional values. In ‘America’s Answer! Production’(1942) text and image meet each other in the form of a bolt.
