A. M. Cassandre was born in the Ukraine to French parents. As a young man he moved to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Julian. Cassandre loved the concept of advertising posters and quickly got work with many poster printing houses.
Cassandre’s innovative clean style was inspired by the work of the Cubists and the Surrealists. In 1925, he designed a poster for a cabinet maker which won the first prize at the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs, firmly establishing him as a posterist of merit.
Cassandre became financially successful also and was able to open his own advertising agency "Alliance Graphique". Among his best known clients was the wine maker "Dubonnet".
During WWII, he served in the army until the fall of France. At that point, his business was ruined. Cassandre suffered from major depression. He did do some significant work in stage set designs and returned to easel painting but his most memorable work from this period was the well-known Yves Saint-Laurent logo. Desperate, Cassandre ended his own life in 1968.
