PAUL COLIN (1892-1985) CHAMPS ÉLYSÉES / REVUE ESPAGNOLE. 1926. 62 3/4x47 1/4inches, 159 1/2x120 cm. H. Chachoin, Paris. Condition B+: minor discoloration in margins; minor loss in text at top; tears and creases at edges. Paper. Paul Colin was one of the most important graphic designers of theater and music hall posters during the French Art Deco period. His poster for the Revue Nègre in 1925 made Josephine Baker, jazz and himself the craze of all Paris. Colin went on to design hundreds of posters, stage sets, costumes and cabaret decorations, to the point where his work is inextricably linked to the creativity and exuberance of the Roaring Twenties. In the post-war era, Colin accepted an increasing number of commercial commissions and his poster production diversified beyond the theatrical world. Previously unreferenced.
