LA ROUILLE. 1929. 61x40 3/4 inches. H. Chachoin, Paris. Condition B+: restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; minor repaired tears in margins. This play, written by two Russian authors, was a complete flop. All that remains of its brief run is one of the best theater posters designed by Colin. In a few strokes, using only black, red and rust, with the hammer and sickle, a heart and a suggested character, Colin evokes the plot of this play: the passionate drama between two Bolshevist propagandists. Under the circumstances of the play's demise, there was clearly only a limited printing of the poster, which makes the image very rare. ref: Paul Colin et les Spectacles<>, Musee des Beaux Arts, Nancy, 1994, no. 136, p. 115 - full color page.
