Noël Fontanet, 1933

With almost five hundred posters produced, Noël Fontanet is one of Geneva's leading graphic designers. His most creative period was between the two world wars, when he put his visual talent at the service of right-wing and far-right parties. The contributors, one a cartoonist and graphic artist, the other a historian, each shed light on this unique work.
