Brittany through the eyes of René Genis — and what a vision it is. Known for his luminous, transparent blues and greens, Genis trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris before becoming one of the most distinctive landscape painters of postwar France. For this SNCF commission, his palette finds its natural subject: the Atlantic light, the wild coastline, the deep greens of the Breton interior.
Printed by Paul Martial, Paris — the great publisher of French railway posters in the postwar era.
