Eugene Maria Cordier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugen Maria Cordier (born January 12, 1903 in Strasbourg , † July 4, 1974 in Munich ) was a German painter , graphic artist and commercial artist .

Life

He studied in Munich at the Munich Art Academy with Julius Diez . He then worked for the magazine Jugend and a member of the Association of Munich Poster Artists. Cordier often worked for exhibitions and rallies. His style is shaped by the simplistic, cubic tendencies of Art Deco . Stylistically, he is close to the Munich graphic artist Hermann Keimel . This style did not correspond to the art ideas of the National Socialists. His poster for the Munich art exhibition in 1932 was attacked in newspaper articles after Hitler came to power and defamed as degenerate. Like many commercial graphic artists, Cordier made stylistic concessions to the aesthetics of the National Socialists.
