Jacques Auriac was a maestro of advertising posters for major brands representative of post-war industrial expansion. He was first inspired to study design after visiting the "Pavillon de la publicité" at the 1937 worlds fair.

A retrospective of his work is available if you can find it. Here's what grain edit has to say about it:

It’s a beautiful book filled with full color reproductions of Auriac’s poster work from the 1950s up till when he died in 2003. He was a profilic designer/ illustrator and produced posters for a broad range of clients includng Middle East Airlines, Air Afrique, Gitanes and Bally.
