MICHEL BOUCHAUD (DATES UNKNOWN) LA PLAGE DE MONTE CARLO. 1929. 47 1/4x31 1/2 inches, 120x80 cm. Publicité Vox, Paris. Condition B: extensive overpainting and restored loss in central image; fading and slight foxing in image; minor restoration in margins; slight darkening at edges. A fashionable couple flirts at the confluence of the bay and a pool, beneath a decorative trellis, with the beaches and town in the distance. A highly stylized, delightful Art Deco image, from the woman's hair to the suggestion of waves in the bay. Bouchaud is known to have designed one other poster, for Val d'Esquieres, another waterside resort, but a poster that is far less Art Deco than this scene. Voyage p. 50, Riviera 214.
