Charles Beglia
Charles Beglia (1887.1963), was a French graphic artist born in Dolcedo, Italy, southwest of Genoa. He married in Menton, France, in 1923 and died there in 1963. His primary occupation appears to have been teaching at the Menton art college (Ecole Municipal du Dessin) but with a main period of parallel local eminence in the 1920s and 1930s in two other areas. The first (from about 1922 to 1930) was as an imaginative designer of floats for the annual Menton. The second – in the 1930s and for which he is now most widely known – was for his striking colour-lithographic posters, mainly promoting Menton and other southern French tourist and holiday destinations.
