Francis Bernard was a member of the U.A.M. (Union des Artistes Modernes) along with A.M. Cassandre, Jean Carlu, Charles Loupot and Paul Colin. Although he is the least known of the five, he was, in fact, a pioneer of photomontage in France, as well as the first of the group to work as a full-time art director for the printer Paul Martial. This is the German version. Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 87.
