About the artist
Residing in Paris but often venturing to New York, Mourgue's distinctive illustrations frequently graced the pages and covers of Vogue magazine, infusing it with a touch of Parisian style. His utilization of ink and gouache introduced a unique elegance to the American edition.
Mourgue's artistic style seamlessly flowed with changing trends and art movements. His early works bear a pronounced Art Deco influence, while his later creations in the 1940s and 1950s echo the characteristic American advertising illustrations of the time. His art, often compared to Pierre Brissaud's, is recognised for its exaggerated figures and penchant for pretty girls.
