JACQUES BELLENGER (1903-1985) & PIERRE BELLENGER (1909-1993) EXPOSITION COLONIALE INTERNATIONALE / REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE. 1931.
47 1/4x31 1/2 inches, 120x80 cm. Chaix, Paris.

Jacques and Pierre Bellenger were twin brothers who worked together their whole lives. After studying at the Académie Julian, they opened a studio and worked on advertising campaigns for major companies. This early image foreshadows their later work in its light Art Deco influence, vivid colors and clever, good-humored concepts.
