PAUL BRUSSET (1909-1985)

MONT - GENEVRE / SPORTS D'HIVER. Circa 1930.


39½x25 inches, 101¼x63½ cm. Impressions France, Paris.

Located in the French Alps, but easily accessible from Italy, Mont-Genevre claims to be the first ski resort in France. This poster, with its sophisticated use of airbrushing and deceptively simple silhouettes of families and couples skiing, creates a compelling call to the mountains.

Hillion p. 165, Alps p. 156, Sports d'Hiver p. 151.
