Condition A-: minor restoration at edges and in image.
Paul Colin was one of the most important graphic designers of theatre and music hall posters during the French Art Deco period. His poster for the Revue Nègre in 1925 made Josephine Baker, jazz and himself the craze of all Paris. Colin went on to design hundreds of posters, stage sets, costumes and cabaret decorations, to the point where his work is inextricably linked to the creativity and exuberance of the Roaring Twenties. Recapturing the rhythm, grace and design of the Tumulte Noir portfolio, Colin's painting is a vivid evocation of the Paris in the 20s.
