Jean Droit

Jean Droit, 1924 Paris Poster for the Olympic Games

From his early youth, Jean Droit manifested his talents as an artist, primarily in watercolors. His first exhibition of watercolors was at the Galerie du Roy in Brussels in 1912. His posters and illustrations, published by numerous magazines and in luxury books, were universally known and appreciated. Shortly before 1914, Jean Droit designed the outfits for the boards of the Belgian Army.

Upon his return to France after the end of the war, he became  a draftsman at the Manufacture de Sèvres and  resumed his artistic and educational activities. Several of his works are at the Royal Army Museum in Brussels.
