CHARLES LOUPOT [WOMAN HOLDING A PIERROT.] 1923. 251/2x193/4 inches. [Devambez, Paris.] Condition A-: minor tears and wrinkles at edges; one with a plate mark. Paper. Signed and numbered by the artist in pencil. After studying in Lyon, Loupot settled in Switzerland where he started designing posters in his early Art Deco mannerist style for the great Swiss lithographer Wolfensberger. When he moved to Paris in 1923 Loupot continued working in the same spirit. Representing the fine, and seldomly crossed line between poster art and fine art, this print is a project of Loupot's that ultimately became an advertisement for the White Sale at the Parisian department store Le Louvre. Although the finished ad bears some differences, Devambez clearly saw the potential for marketing Loupot's work in a different way, and published the delicately stylized heliogravure with etching and hand-coloring for collectors and decorators. Zagrodski p. 61 and 115, Loupot no. 19.
