Lot Details
Artist: Paul Colin
Title Josephine Baker
Medium: Fine Art Reproduction Giclee on Canvas
Image Size: Approximately 20 inches x 7.5 inches
Framed: Unframed on Unstretched Canvas
Details: This is a beautiful Reproduction Giclee on Archival Canvas
Paul Colin was one of France’s greatest poster artists, best known for creating over 1,400 posters for the Revue Nègre, as well as numerous sets and costumes. A student of Eugène Vallin and of Victor Prouvé, he is considered a master of the modern school of poster art. His style is highly personal and impossible to categorise. The evocative force of his posters for grand causes marks him as a master of visual communication and his work remains relevant and fresh today.
When still an aspiring artist, Paul Colin was commissioned by a friend at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees to design a poster publicizing La Revue Nègre, starring Josephine Baker. Josephine Baker accepted Colin's invitation to come to his studio to pose for the poster. Paul Colin and Josephine Baker became lovers and life-long friends. Their relationship was fortuitous for both, leading to a very successful artistic career for Colin, and introducing Baker through Colin to Paris' artistic elite.
