Art Deco Elegance: Charles Martin’s Posters of the 1910s

Charles Martin (1884–1934) was a French illustrator and artist known for his contributions to the Art Deco movement. He was especially active in fashion illustration, working for magazines like Gazette du Bon Ton and Vogue. His refined, stylized artwork often used the pochoir technique and featured elegant, modern forms.

Martin also illustrated books—such as Sports et divertissements (1923), in collaboration with composer Erik Satie—and designed sets and costumes for theater. His legacy endures through his distinct, decorative style that helped define early 20th-century French art and design.
