A Poster by Pierre Fonterme.. |
With some well known activity as an Architect during the late 20's and 30's in the region of the South West of France (his birth town was Biarritz) , he appears in the year of 1935 already in the Island of Madagascar, where together with his Architect work we find some incursions into the Graphical Design World with a postage stamp in 1935 , at least one poster and several beautiful wood engravings ...

Any Additional data is a Great Help to build something that could look more like a small but well structured biography... I could only pick fragments of the Artist life . without the possibility of share with You the most important details of his education, birth,death,etc..
