In 1970, Pierre Bernard founded Grapus with François Miehe and Gérard Paris-Clavel met during the student strike in May 1968. All three were members of the French Communist Party. Alex Jordan and Jean-Paul Bachollet joined the collective in 1976.

Bernard has been a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale since 1987. He was a notable graphic design teacher at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris. Bernard's status as a graphic designer equals that of graphic artists such as Niklaus Troxler and Werner Jekerof of Switzerland and Eiko Ishioka of Japan.[4]
