About the Item
This circa 1920 original poster by French illustrator Marcel Levèque offers a razor-sharp, delightfully exaggerated caricature of the iconic Sacha Guitry—the celebrated playwright, actor, and filmmaker known for his wit, theatrical flair, and unmistakable profile.
Set against a vivid crimson red background, Levèque’s minimalist yet expressive drawing captures Guitry in stark profile: the elongated nose, keen eyes, and ever-composed demeanor rendered with economical lines and a satirical touch. The signature of Sacha Guitry, scrawled in the upper corner, adds an air of celebrity endorsement, giving this poster the feel of both homage and humorous jab.
Guitry, a towering figure of Belle Époque and interwar French culture, was renowned for his prolific output on stage and screen. Levèque’s caricature distills his persona into a bold visual shorthand—dapper in a tuxedo, bemused in expression, and steeped in charm.
Marcel Levèque was a master of the French caricature tradition, following in the footsteps of Sem and Caran d'Ache, turning public figures into recognizable icons of satire. This poster likely accompanied a theatrical performance or exhibition, and it stands today as a vivid artifact of celebrity culture, visual humor, and early 20th-century poster art.
Perfect for collectors of vintage caricature, theatrical memorabilia, or anyone enchanted by the golden age of French performance and graphic wit, this rare original is a brilliant slice of cultural history—as clever as the man it depicts.
