Paul Bonet Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

French, 1889-1971

Paul Bonet was born in 1889, Paris. He was a French artist and a modern book technician, famous among bibliophiles for his art binding decorations but also for his industrial binding models. He discovered bookbinding in 1920 but did not make it his profession until 1924. He was 35 years old. His first bindings were exhibited in 1925, at the Galliera Museum, then at the French Book Arts exhibition, at the Salon d'Automne and at the Salon des Artistes décorateurs, where his talent was recognized.
