Original Description
Roger Broders’ "Col Du Grand St. Bernard" is a striking Art Deco travel poster that captures the majesty and dynamism of the Swiss Alps in the early 20th century. Created during the golden age of travel advertising (1920s-1930s), the artwork embodies the era's optimism and fascination with exotic destinations. Broders’ distinct style—clean lines, simplified geometric forms, and bold chromatic contrasts—perfectly conveys the rugged grandeur of the mountain pass while maintaining graphic elegance. The composition guides the eye along winding roads with dramatic foreshortening, where tiny automobiles emphasize nature's overwhelming scale againstArt Deco architecture’s streamlined modernity. As one of Broders’ most iconic Alpine works, this piece holds significant historical value, representing how commercial art elevated poster design to fine art status, now prized by museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s ephemera collections.
When displaying this masterpiece, consider placing it in spaces where its vibrant energy and sophisticated geometry can shine. An ideal setting would be a study with walnut bookshelves or a minimalist office featuring brass accents—environments where Art Deco’s luxurious functionality harmonizes with the poster’s aesthetic. Opt for a medium-to-large format (24×36 inches to maintain visibility of intricate details) framed in slim black lacquer with museum glass to enhance its rich color blocks of electric blues and warm terracotta. Pair with furniture featuring rounded edges or chevron patterns to echo the painting’s dynamic forms. For lighting, choose adjustable spotlights to dramatize the high-contrast snowy peaks while maintaining the work’s vintage warmth against neutral walls (think Farrow & Ball’s "School House White"). This creates a dialogue between heritage and contemporary design.
