Gaston Gorde has an eye-opening take on Art Deco—a type of intensity that's almost hyperreal—which he's deployed with meaningful effect in posters for Miel Alphandery (see PAI-LXXI, 336) and Superbagneres / Luchon (see PAI-LXXX, 359). Here, a golden goddess arises from the mountain silhouette, steamy and icy at the same time, to seduce visitors to Uriage-les-Bains, a sulfur spa first settled and exploited by the ancient Romans. People still flock to Uriage seeking relief from psoriasis, arthritis, and sinusitis. Ah, such relief!
