"Jazz Club Dancing, Paris, " Quintessential 1920s Print by Paul Colin
About the Item
Created by Paul Colin, one of the artists who helped define the elegance of 1920s Paris, and in particular the rising prominence of jazz clubs which featured Josephine Baker and other Black performers, this print features a couple dancing to a modern tune with high energy, their arms and legs at acute angles which echoed the geometries of high style Art Deco form. The Black male figure is the height of fashion in his tuxedo, and the female figure is wearing a thin, diaphanous, pale green dress that is pulled up to reveal a hint of her back side. Stylized and sensual at the same time, it captures with great economy an era that came and went within a few years. The painting is ink on pale yellow paper, and is signed. (Dimensions include the black matte; the visible painting is 18 inches high by 12 inches wide.).

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.
