Framed, Original Vintage "Ballets Russes de Diaghilew" Poster by Jean Cocteau

About the Item

Dimensions with Frame: 43? x 73? Artist: Jean Cocteau Medium: Original Stone Lithograph Vintage Poster c. 1939 Advertising poster for the 1939 exhibition BALLETS RUSSES DE DIAGHILEW 1909 A 1929 Musee des Art Decoratifs. Our 1939 poster was restruck from theoriginal lithograph of 1911 to advertisethis, the first major exhibition concerning Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes. In1911, Bakst persuaded Diaghilev tocommission Cocteau to design two posters, one featuring Nijinsky and theother Karsavina in their costumes for Le Spectre de la Rose, which had its firstperformance that year during the seasonin Monte Carlo. The Karsavina postershows her in her costume as the young girl in the ballet, standing on point, herhands crossed in front of her, her eyesclosed facing to the left side of theimage. A fascinating note comes from the late Alexander Schouvaloff, who suggests that in this poster: Cocteau mischievously made Karsavina un cannily resemble himself.

  • Framed, Original Vintage "Cuisiniere à GAZ Coffurnus" Poster by Jean d’Ylen
    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    Dimensions with frame: 53? x 73? Artist: Jean d’Ylen Medium: Original stone Lithograph vintage poster c. 1930 After several years as a jewelry designer, D’Ylen became a full-time posterist in 1919 and signed an exclusive contract with Vercasson firm in 1922. He may have owed the job offer to the fact that he was a sincere admirer and disciple of Cappiello, who was the previous star at Vercasson, and thus the firm was assured of the uninterrupted flow of designs of unbridled exuberance. Like Cappiello, D’Ylen is a master of the art of flamboyant product personification, here bringing chef and stove to life to advertise Cofurnus Gas Stoves.
