PAUL BRUSSET (1914-1985) MONT-GENEVRE. Circa 1930.
40 3/4x25 1/4 inches, 103 1/2x64 cm. Impressions France, Paris.
Condition A. Framed.
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.
