Ambre Solaire, pour brunir sans brûlures

Colour lithograph

200 x 130cm

1936

Following his success with the beauty company L’Oréal in the previous year, Loupot was commissioned to produce another poster by Eugène Schueller, this time for the Ambre Solairesun cream. The piece is bathed in a bronze light, and the figure bends her head upwards towards the rays. The inclusion of a nude for a commercial poster was a daring move for the time. There is a monumental sensuality to the statuesque form, played off against the curves of the bottle that sits next to her.
