No information exists about this artist who is known only for this one exemplary Art Deco poster. To promote a four-day cruise to the Cote d'Azur to enjoy the Carnival in Nice, the artist uses no outlining and only flat colors. The image is composed of four vertical layers; the text, the ship, the sea and the foreground with two couples, one in evening dress and the others in carnival costumes. Riviera 154, Azur 93.
