Michel Liebeaux (1881–1923), working under the pseudonym Mich, was a key figure whose illustrations helped define the transition from Art Nouveau curves to Art Deco geometry. This poster, created right at the genesis of the Deco movement in the early 1920s, powerfully conveys:

• Streamlined Speed: The bicycle and rider are rendered with bold, clean lines and dramatic diagonal motion, emphasizing velocity and efficiency—hallmarks of the Streamline Moderne aesthetic.

• Graphic Impact: Mich utilizes large, flat fields of color and strong contrast, simplifying the composition to communicate immediately and powerfully. This use of geometric design applied to advertising was highly influential, moving French graphic art decisively into the 20th century.

• Cultural Symbol: The bicycle, a symbol of independence and democratization of travel, was a favored subject in post-WWI Europe.
