Roger Broders Biography

Roger Broders (1883–1953) was a French illustrator and poster artist best known for creating iconic Art Deco travel posters during the 1920s and 1930s. Working primarily for the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée Railway (PLM), Broders produced spectacular promotional posters encouraging tourism throughout the French Alps, the Côte d'Azur, Provence and the Mediterranean coast.

His instantly recognisable style combined simplified forms, dramatic lighting, bold colour palettes and clean geometric composition, perfectly reflecting the elegance of the Art Deco movement. Rather than producing highly detailed realism, Broders distilled landscapes and architecture into striking graphic designs that were both visually memorable and commercially effective.

Today Roger Broders is widely regarded as one of the greatest travel poster artists of the twentieth century. His vintage railway posters continue to inspire collectors, interior designers and lovers of Art Deco design around the world.
