Raymond Gid, born November 25, 1905 and died November 12, 2000 in Paris1, is a French poster designer and typographer.
Biography
Raymond Gid was born on November 25, 1905 in Paris 16th. He is the eldest son of Léon Grünberg, engineer at the École centrale, and Lucie Léon, daughter of financier Marc Léon. His parents divorced when he was 12.
As a teenager, he began publishing caricature drawings in newspapers, and quickly adopted the pseudonym Gid, a name he officially adopted by decree of April 4, 1959.
Course
Raymond Gid studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts, a profession he never pursued. He then became known thanks to his posters, many of which he produced for the cinema.
His meeting with Guy Lévis Mano (editions GLM), publisher and typographer, opened up a new field of action for him: that of books. In 1935, he published with the photographer Pierre Jahan Le Dévot Christ de Perpignan and, with the photographer Ylla, Chats (with a preface by Paul Léautaud) and Chiens. During this intense period, he rubbed shoulders with Raoul Dufy, Le Corbusier, Paul Colin, and André Lurçat.
With Father Ambroise-Marie Carré, Gid tackles the layout of liturgical texts. One of his major works, Apocalypse Six, appeared after the war. It is a work on the slowness and division of the text composed in Peignot, a typeface designed by Cassandre in 1937.
His name appears in a notebook published for the "Gala for the benefit of prisoner and deported architects" (undated but one of his illustrations bears that of August 17, 1945 - arch. pers.) for which he collected the Stanzas of absence, of captivity short texts by writers and poets; Gid also provided a drawing to illustrate a passage from Oscar Wilde (“But never had I seen a man stare so intensely at the day”), among other artists including Marianne Clouzot, Paul Colin, Valentine Hugo, Jean Lambert-Rucki, Touchagues.
