Frédéric Alexianu, românul uitat care a creat posterul de călătorie. Lucrările lui se vând cu mii de euro • Newsweek România

Frédéric Alexianu, a Romanian artist born in 1849, became known as Hugo d’Alési in Paris. He revolutionized travel posters by focusing on single illustrations that captured landscapes and atmospheres, moving away from cluttered designs. His work gained prominence in the 1890s when major French railway companies commissioned him for visual promotions. Alexianu's technique involved complex chromolithography, making his posters highly sought after today, valued at thousands of euros. He passed away in Paris in 1906, leaving behind a legacy of hundreds of artistic posters.
