About the Item

Paul Colin (1892–1986), a painter, illustrator, set designer, and major poster artist of the 20th century, is renowned for his influence on Art Deco. He grew up in Nancy, a hub of avant-garde art, where he developed an interest in painting. Before World War I, he founded the magazine "La Vache enragée" with Jean Lurçat. His career took a pivotal turn in 1925 when he created a poster featuring Josephine Baker, making history with its cubist elements that captured the rhythm of jazz. This success established him as a key figure of the "Roaring Twenties" and led him to organize the Bal Blomet in 1927, for which he designed another iconic poster. Colin later expanded his work into theater and film, creating set designs and costumes. Drawing from cubism to express modern dynamism, he adapted his own remarkable style. - Collage and gouache on paper. - Signed at lower left and dated 1925. - Studio stamp at lower right. - H: 39.5 cm W: 28 cm ( at sight).
