Maurice Louis Henri Neumont

Prolífico cartelista francés de guerra

Maurice Neumont nació en París, Francia, el 22 de septiembre de 1868. Se convirtió en artista y durante la Primera Guerra Mundial produjo varios carteles para el gobierno francés. Neumont was the most prolific contributor to the Cornet Society menu collection, illustrating 56 menus between 1904 and 1929, approximately 15% of the collection. Neumont was no stranger to accolades; his special achievement award list continues almost ad infinitum, including a gold medal for engraving at the School of Fine Arts (Ecole des Beaux-Arts), Liege and Brussels. However, he is remembered most as a member of the “Patriotic School,” a group of artists whose propaganda posters helped mobilize the French nation in its fight against Germany in World War I.
