Born in Neuchâtel in 1888, Swiss artist Eric de Coulon, who studied architecture at ETH Zurich and later moved to Paris, is best remembered for inventing the “lettre sujet” technique, designing tourist posters in an elegant Art Deco style, and creating dynamic compositions for the Klausenrennen car races, before his death in 1956 at age 68.
