Guy Arnoux (1890-1951) achieved a measure of success with stencil-coloured zinc plate prints and decorative style painting on historic themes or serial concepts, such as "Seven Capital Sins" of "Four Elements," and was an accomplished book illustrator as well.
However, he was at his best with humorous work. Long a prominent member of the Salon des Humoristes, he also helped to organise their annual events. A French artist, illustrator, and graphic designer, he illustrated nearly 80 books.
His poster Les Vins de Bourgogne, for a wine merchant, reflects both his preoccupation with historic motifs and his humorous approach to lithography.
