Biography Born on October 9, 1869 in Tours , Georges Grellet came from a family originally from Saumur. A student at the Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1890, he began to produce drawings for the press, titles such as Paris-Joyeux (1894), Le Journal pour tous , La Caricature (1895-1902), Gil Blas illustré , Fin de siècle , Le Rire , La Vie pour rire (1900), L'Album comique de la famille (1903), L'Indiscret , Le Sourire (1917-1921), Ridendo (1934-1940), Scaramouche (1936). He signed some of his compositions "Géogrell" and was a member of the Humoristes. In 1905, in Boulogne (Hauts-de-Seine), he married a young artist, Hortense Vuischard, cousin of the painter Jules-Charles Aviat, to whom Georges was related . During the First World War , he made many drawings of the front. Concerning the mosaic located in the apse of the Notre-Dame de Brebières basilica , it was designed from the drawings of a namesake, Alexandre Grellet. This mosaic was destroyed during the conflict, then restored. Grellet produced lithographed advertising posters such as À la Place Clichy and Au Bon Marché (1900). He designed the character of "Doctor Valda" for the pastilles of the same name. In the 1920s, he collaborated on the albums of the "L'Estampe moderne" company directed by Octave Bernard , including numerous original color etchings and stencil illuminations, which depict elegant young women in a "boudoir" style . Grellet was also an illustrator for literary works such as La Cousine Bette by Balzac, or La Route solitaire by Claude Du Val (1937). He died on March 30, 1959 in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
