35 Amazing Posters Designed by René Vincent in the Early 20th Century

René Vincent (1879–1936) was a French illustrator who was active in the 1920s-1930s. He worked in an Art Deco style and became famous for his poster designs. He was influential in the Art Deco movement in the period between the two world wars. His illustrations helped define advertising in the 20th century.

Vincent was an illustrator for La Vie Parisienne, L’Illustration and Fantasio. When he came to the United States, he did work for the Saturday Evening Post and Harper’s Bazaar. Most of his contributions to these magazines were fashion illustrations. When he came back to France, he created a plethora of advertisements for Bugatti, Peugeot, Michelin, and Shell Oil Company. His most recognizable work is the 1925 Porto Ramos Pinto poster.

Vincent was a great lover of cars, so as a result he was one of the first French citizens to have a driver’s license and was also one of the first Parisians to have a garage built onto his house. Vincent had a particular design style of distorting perspective and dynamism.
