About the Item
Original poster made by Paul Colin 🇫🇷 (1892-1985), considered one of the greatest French poster artists, to promote the show of Katherine Dunham.
Very art deco in its early days, his style soon became very personal and impossible to classify. The synthetic precision of his portraits and the evocative power of his posters for great causes characterize him as a master of visual communication. His work remains current and relevant. Considered a master of the modern school, he created over 1400 posters and numerous theater sets and costumes.
Katherine Dunham 🇺🇸 (1909-2006) was an African-American dancer, choreographer and activist. She completely disrupted the codes of classical ballet to become one of the most important choreographers of her generation.

Paul Colin
Paul Colin (French , 1892-1985) was a French artist widely recognized for his imaginatively configured art deco posters depicting many well known theatre performers in Paris in the 1920's and 1930's, such as Josephine Baker and modernist figures and nudes. He also specialized in theatre sets, book designs, and costume design. Influenced by Cubism and jazz, he often employed a collage-like methodology to his work, juxtaposing highly stylized figural compositions against geometrically overlapping objects.He was a student of Valin and Prouvre. He created performance posters that were highly stylized, for studio, arts and dance. He was awarded an inspiring graphic artist and had his own unique style as he embraced symbolism and an abstract style.
