Paul Colin
"Paris, " Original Lithograph Poster with Paris Landmarks signed by Paul Colin

1945

About the Item

"Paris" is an original lithograph poster by Paul Colin. This was the first official poster from Paris after World War II and depicts three doves flying above the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and a birds-eye view of Paris. 38 3/4" x 24 1/4" art 49" x 34" frame Paul Colin (27 June 1892 in Nancy, France - 18 June 1985 in Nogent-sur-Marne) was one of France’s greatest poster artists. Made famous in 1925 by his poster for the Revue Nègre, which helped to launch the career of Joséphine Baker (who became his mistress), he worked for over forty years in the theatre, creating not only posters but also numerous sets and costumes. Very art déco at the outset, (his Le Tumulte noir is a masterpiece of the genre), his style quickly became highly personal and impossible to categorize: the synthetic accuracy of his portraits, the evocative force of his posters for grand causes so marked him as a master of visual communication that his work today remains relevant and fresh. A student of Eugène Vallin and of Victor Prouvé, he is considered a master of the modern school of poster art. He is the author of over 1400 posters and many theatrical set and costume designs.
