Auriol, (Jean) George [Georges] (Hulot)
(b Beauvais, 26 April 1863; d Paris, 6 Feb 1938). French illustrator, typographical designer, writer and printmaker. He went to Paris in 1883 to pursue a literary career. His first humorous essays were published that year in the Chat Noir journal. He was introduced to the many avant-garde artists and writers who frequented the Chat Noir cabaret in Montmartre and contributed to the journal. Of these Henri Rivière and Eugène Grasset were especially important to his artistic development, Rivière coaching Auriol in drawing while Grasset introduced him to typographical design. Auriol’s close association with Rivière culminated in the latter’s album of lithographs, Les Trente-six Vues de la Tour Eiffel (1902; for illustration see JAPONISME), for which Auriol designed the decorative cover, end-papers and typography.
