The Attic #8 ✦ Guy Georget
Guten Morgen! 🌞 I hope you're doing great on this fine Sunday morning!
Summer's already here (at least it is in Barcelona) and with it, a summery dose of inspiration. Here's this month's mix: a colorful poster artist, some cool x-ray experiments from 1896, a Polish travel ad, a beautiful Bulgarian postage stamp, an incredible picture book and a collection of cigarette ads!
✧ An artist: Guy Georget ✧
Guy Georget (1911-1992) was a poster artist whose work I found on a vintage posters auction site. It was a poster for Air France that caught my eye. The shapes, vivid color blocks and the light of the whole image captivated me and I started looking for more of his work.
I found very little info about Georget, which is always sad, but I came across a beautiful series of Spain posters with really nice composition and imagery to compensate for :)
✧ An X-Ray: Chamäleon cristatus ✧
✧ An ad: ORBIS ✧
✧ A stamp: The Big Turnip ✧
✧ A book: Amos and the Moon ✧
✧ A collection: Cigarette ads ✧
And with these fun ads this issue comes to an end, make sure to check the links below for more. Hoping you stay inspired, I'll see you next month 🌞
