Jean Aumond
Art Deco yellow butterfly costume design by French costume designer Jean Aumond

About the Item

A very charming and stylish Art Deco costume study of a lady in a yellow butterfly costume by the French costume designer Jean Aumond. Jean Aumond (French, active from 1919 to 1965) was considered one of the most brilliant and productive costume designers for Parisian music hall. Aumond designed costumes for all the most prestigious theatres: the Casino de Paris, the Concert Mayol, the Bataclan, the Ambassadeurs, the Marigny, the Folies Bergère and the Palace. Full details of the work are as follows: Jean Aumond (French, fl. 1918 – 1965) Papillon (36) pen, watercolour and gold paint inscribed ’36 Papillon’ (upper right) and signed ‘JEAN/AUMOND’ (lower right) 8 x 8 in. (20.3 x 20.3 cm.) There are another two similar works to this piece in our collection with ladies in blue and red butterfly costumes. They would make an amazing set
