About the Item
Before the letter - Natalia Gontcharova designed this poster for the Grand Bal des Artistes which was held in the Bullier room, in Paris, February 23, 1923. Its poster reveals the influence of Cubism in its spatial composition fragmented on a flat space, with silhouettes with hard contours evoking characters. The edges of the composition elements are separated to allow the background to be seen.
Natalia Goncharova's original poster for the Grand Bal de Nuit at the Salle Bullier embodies both the essence of the art scene of the time and the creative genius of the artist herself. Natalia Goncharova, a major figure in the Russian artistic movement of the early 20th century, has succeeded in capturing the energy and vitality of Parisian nightlife in this emblematic work.
Born in Russia in 1881, Natalia Goncharova is renowned for her outstanding contribution to modern art. She was not only a talented painter and draughtswoman, but also a versatile designer, conceiving theatrical costumes, sets and posters, such as the one for Le Grand Bal de Nuit.
The poster reflects the lively, festive atmosphere of the Grand Bal des Artistes held at the Salle Bullier in Paris. Goncharova used vivid colors and bold shapes to convey the feeling of movement and animation typical of a ball. The stylized figures dancing and swirling evoke the diversity and creativity of the art scene of the time.
The work also shows the influence of the Russian avant-garde art movement, with elements of primitivism and futurism. The geometric patterns and intense colors recall the artist's work in other creative fields, demonstrating his artistic coherence and ability to express his distinctive vision through different media.
Today, this poster remains an icon of early twentieth-century art, reminding us of the power of artistic expression in cultural and social life.
