The Attic #8 β¦ Guy Georget
Guten Morgen! π 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!
β§ An artist: Guy Georget β§
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 :)
β§ An X-Ray: ChamΓ€leon cristatus β§
β§ An ad: ORBIS β§
β§ A stamp: The Big Turnip β§
β§ A book: Amos and the Moon β§
β§ A collection: Cigarette ads β§
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 π
