41 1/2x29 1/2 inches, 105 1/2x75 cm. Devambez, Paris. Condition B+ / A-: expert extensive overpainting around image and text; minor restoration along unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds.
An engaging Art Deco rendition of a bustling, fashionable day on Trouville's boardwalk, filled with style, beauty, glamour, color and patterns to the point that it "seems to encapsulate the essence of bright young thingery" (Hillier, p. 148). Executed in the manner of the fashionable Art Deco magazines of the era (Lauro was a magazine illustrator who specialized in fashion), this graceful, joyful and elegant celebration of the happy-go-lucky Roaring Twenties speaks to Lauro's mastery of his craft. Trouville / Deauville p. 63, Hillier p. 148 (var), Affiches Art Deco p. 103.
