GEORGES VILLA (1883-1965) was a designer, cartoonist, engraver, lithographer, wood carver and illustrator. He studied at the École des Beaux Arts and the Académie Julian in Paris. He was an excellent portraitist, which is why he was invited to Russia by the Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of Tsar Nicolas II, to portray Russian officers. In 1908 he took part in a Russian archaeological expedition to Egypt. The son of a general, Villa was an air force pilot during World War I.
Back in France he began a new career as an illustrator doing mainly cartoons. He also illustrated books including works by Anatole France, Theophile Gautier, Edgar Allen Poe and Louys Pierre.
In the 1920’s Villa was part of the Parisian Année Folles (Crazy Years) and became known for his caricatures and portraits as well as his erotic drawings using charcoal and pastel. Many of Villa’s outstanding illustrations can be found in limited edition collectors’ books, including 12 erotic lithographs to accompany the poetry of Edmond Haraucourt, Poemes hysteriques, an eroticized parody of the poems of Victor Hugo.
