'Theatre in the Park' French School (circa 1930s)

circa 1930s

About the Item

'Theatre in the Park' gouache on art paper, French School (circa 1930s, signature unknown). A charming vignette of costumed performers in an open air theatre delights the viewer. There is something akin to the work of Marc Chagall in this depiction. Perhaps it is the dreamlike imagery and the colour palette used by the artist. We can say for certain that it transports the viewer to a better place and would cheer up a needy niche in any home or workspace. Overall, the piece is in good condition having been recently cleaned by an art restoration specialist. The work has been newly framed and is glazed with anti-reflective glass. The work is signed in the upper left hand however the handwriting is undecipherable. It was acquired in the South of France near Montpellier. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided.

Les fleurs du mal by Erté
By Erte - Romain de Tirtoff
Located in New Orleans, LA
Erté (Romain de Tirtoff) 1892-1990 Russian-French Fleurs du Mal(The Flowers of Evil) Signed "Erté" (lower right) Inscribed 114.6 (en verso) Gouache on paper Captivating and vibrant, this colorful gouache entitledFleurs du Mal showcases Erté's masterful creativity and keen eye. Inspired by Les Fleurs du mal, the famed volume of poems by French writer Charles Baudelaire, this ensemble marries light purple and green floral motifs with the suggestive form of red lips poised for a smooch. This daring yet feminine appearance encapsulates the Art Deco allure for which the artist's creations are cherished. The sophisticated arrangement emanates the fundamental richness and theatricality that can only be accomplished by Erté, often hailed as the "Father of Art Deco." First published in 1857, Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal was controversial for its suggestive content and themes of decadence and eroticism. The volume provided a wealth of inspiration for Erté and he drew from several themes to create original fashion sketches...
