George Valmier was a French painter of landscapes and still lifes, starting in the Impressionist style in his early years. When he was around 25 years old he discovered Cubism and from 1921 on, he had discovered Abstractionism. He also designed sets and costumes for theatre and ballet. He suffered ill health since 1932 and died prematurely at the age of 51. A pochoir (after the painting from 1918). Published in Paris in 1929 by Charles Moreau in a limited edition for L'Art Cubiste. This is a nice impression printed by pochoir master Daniel Jacomet; it is presumed that no more than 1000 impressions were printed and this edition is now rare.
