André Derain
Design for Décor, Ballet Set Decoration

Circa 1947

About the Item

In addition to his very well-respected career as a major Fauve and Post -Impressionist, André Derain’s skill as a ballet set decorator also emerged, beginning in 1919 and continuing as late as 1947, when Design for Décor was made. Other ballet set designers of his time included Matisse and Picasso. Derain’s most notable commission for theatre décor began in 1919 for Serge Diaghilev, leader of the Ballets Russes, and La Boutique Fantasque. We believe that in 1947, Derain designed this set decoration for Massine’s Mam’zelle Angot. Signed: Stamped Atelier Andre Derain lower right. This work has an impressive provenance. It is very attractively framed and would do well to both formalize a spot like an entryway and create the sort of feel a Matisse does with its strong color and contemporary feel. Inside the frame the piece of artwork measures 19 x 25 inches. Provenance: Galerie Lialowitsch, Basel (label verso) Galerie Bargera, Cologne (label verso) Annely Juda Fine Art, London (label verso) Grosvenor Gallery, London (label verso) Simon Capstick-Dale Fine Art, 2008
