André Edouard Marty (1882-1974) was an École des Beaux-Arts graduate best known for fashion illustration. Two brief biographies are
here and
here. They both note that Marty was one of four artists whose work appeared every year of the existence of leading fashion journal
Gazette du Bon Ton (1912 to 1925).
The
Bon Ton featured color illustrations produced by the
pochoir (stencil) method. A description is
here. Below are examples of Marty's work, some in pochoir, others using more conventional, less tedious methods.
