D'APRES PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) BALLETS RUSSES DE MONTE - CARLO. 1924. 62 1/2x47 inches, 158 3/4x119 1/2 cm. Albert Picard, [Saint Martin.] Condition B / B-: repaired tears, abrasions, staining and extensive creasing in margins and image; sharp vertical and horizontal folds; pencil notation in text; text and image banners affixed to bottom. The image on this poster is a lithograph after a costume drawing of Picasso's which the Ballets Russes used like a logo on much of their advertising. For many of their typographic broadsides announcing their upcoming schedule they would adhere this image to a blank space left in the poster. This poster announces their Parisian show schedule as part of the "Gde. Saison d'Art de la VIIIe Olympiade," as it was concurrent with the Olympic Games being held in Paris. Arguably, their repertoire represented an Olympic class team. For Le Train Bleu, Cocteau wrote the libretto and Coco Chanel designed the costumes. For other performances, they incorporated the artistry of such master as Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Pablo Picasso, Marie Laurencin and others.
