Bernard Villemot was a French graphic artist who lived from 1911 to 1989. He did many works for beverage companies Orangina and Perrier along with the Red Cross, Bally Shoes and Air France. His work was primarily inspired by photographs, which he would then transform into simple, bold, colorful paintings and prints. Many of his works are now considered very collectible and valuable.

His classic posters are iconic and often emulated, yet not everyone is familiar with his bright and bold work. Enjoy!
