Very little is known about this artist. Georget’s first commercial posters appear in the late 1940s. Hired by the tourist boards, the artist produced posters tempting people to visit Spain in which you see the influence of Picasso and Georges Braque. In 1960, Georget was awarded a plum which would please any graphic artist — he was selected to design the logo of France’s venerable Postal Service “La Poste”. During this period, he also worked for Air France, another prestigious post for graphic artists of the time.
