MICHEL BOUCHAUD (DATES UNKNOWN) LA PLAGE DE MONTE CARLO. 1929.
47 1/4x31 1/4 inches, 120x79 1/2 cm. Publicité Vox.
Condition B+: creases, rippling and light foxing in margins and image; abrasions in image; faded. Mounted on paper.
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.
