Light blue and beige suede sleeveless waistcoat entirely hand-painted on a musical theme probably signed by René Gruau. Commissioned for a play in the late 1940s. Two brown suede pockets on the front represent the body of a violin and a drum. Non-repetitive motifs painted on the suede relate to traditional music: lyre, piano, violin, lute, trumpet, flute, etc. as well as objects relating to musical representation: books, scores, music stands, musical notes, etc. On the back of the waistcoat are two faces, one happy and one sad, reminiscent of theatre with its two symbolic masks. Excellent colour and condition.

René Gruau
René Gruau, an Italian-born artist who made his name in Paris and New York as an illustrator for fashion houses, women's magazines, nightclubs and ballet companies. René Gruau astounds us simply by the immensity of his work, his modernity, his simplicity and his utter elegance. He is a virtuoso performer of the greatest names in fashion, the most prestigious brands, the most colourful shows. but the artist has the elegance to stay behind his works. His talent and his highly personal style shine through... In the 1990's there were exhibitions of his work in Germany, Japan, Monaco and France. The largest retrospective was organized by the Advertising Museum in Paris in 1999. It was called, simply, ''Passionately Gruau.''
