Villemot is a rare example of a poster artist who was successful beyond the end of the golden age of the poster (the end of World War II). He is best known for his posters for the Orangina beverage brand, but also created poster designs for Perrier, Bally Shoes, and Air France.

Villemot was particularly influenced by Paul Colin, Leonetto Cappiello, and A.M. Cassandre. He was a significant influence on modern graphic design. He died in 1989, at about age 78.
