GRAND HOTEL BELVÉDÈRE DAVOS, SWITZERLAND

Grand Hotel Belvedere was always a home for famous and legendary artists. Why not employ their talents to advertise the wonderful grand hotel? Swiss Alois Cariget was one of the artists who produced wonderful surest for the hotel.

Alois Carigiet was born on August 30, 1902 in Trun, Switzerland. After an apprenticeship in visual arts, he trained as a graphic designer both in Paris and Zurich, and remained active as a designer up until World War II – creating many classical posters of that era. In Zurich, Carigiet was a co-founder of the Zurich cabaret “Cornichon” (The Pickle). He appeared in a movie, but didn’t have the cinematographic or stage career his brother Zarli did.
