Pierre Fonterme

[France] (b /d ?)

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 ...

Wood engravings as illustration of a 1936 book from the known Madagascar Poet Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo. (pages 42/43 of the ebook..)

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..
