Georges Rogy (Belgian, 1897 – 1981) studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels from 1915 to 1922 under Emile Fabry, Herman Richir, and Constant Montald.
Beginning in 1925, he became an instructor at the School of Arts and Crafts in Etterbeek.
Rogy painted figures, nudes, portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. His style was staunchly figurative, remaining uninfluenced by the contemporary art movements of his time. He created a decorative panel for the Province of Brabant's pavilion at the 1935 World Exhibition in Brussels and designed the poster for the "Grand Historical Parade in Brussels" in 1930.
