Cannes. SEM (Georges Goursat, 1863-1934) 46 x 31 inPrinter: Imp. Draeger, Paris Cond A Sem produced two posters in 1930 for the city of Cannes, both placing an emphasis-both textually and artistically-on the three chief themes the Cote d'Azur enclave preferred in their graphics: elegance, sports and flowers. Here, in a variant comprised exclusively of the central decorative element previously utilized to reinforce a primary lithographic thrust, the text has been stripped to all but a monosyllabic identifier that cements in our minds the exact location of the blanched background city playing home to the flowing bower of orange blossoms.
