About the artist. Jean Target was born in France in 1910. From a very young age early on, he was impassioned by the two forms of art that would remain the focal point of his career for all his life: visual arts and performing arts. In the 30s and 40s, as a young man, Jean Target frequented the Parisian theaters and cabarets, just like his role model, the famous impressionist painter Toulouse Lautrec, did at the end of the 19th century. Jean became friends with many performers and captured many formal as well as candid depictions. He gained exclusive access and used this privilege to create art with unparalleled perspective as an insider to the seedy, dark, yet glamorous underworld of Parisian cabaret. He drew the dancers on-site, capturing the dancer’s movements in his immediately recognizable signature style. In the 40s and 50s, he continued his artistic career, gaining recognition among collectors in France and all over Europe. His work depicting the Parisian performing art scene captures the feeling and history of the the theater and golden age of cabaret in Paris. Jean Target continued to draw, paint and sculpt until his death in 1997. The work of Jean Target is held in collections and museums worldwide including the world renowned Victoria And Albert Museum in London. About the subject. Luis Pérez Dávila was born in Mexico in 1927. He studied in his home town and made his debut with the company of Carmen Amaya in New York in 1947, and his Spanish debut the following year in 1948. With TERESA VIERA ROMERO he founded the company called 'Los Ballets Españoles de Teresa y Luisillo' ('Teresa and Luisillo's Spanish Ballet) with which he toured Europe and the United States. After the departure of Teresa Viera the group became known as the Spanish Dance Company.
