PAUL COLIN (1892-1986) CHAMPS ÉLYSÉES / LES FÉERIES FANTASTIQUES DE LA LOÏE FULLER. 1925. 62 3/4x47 inches, 159 1/2x119 1/2 cm. H. Chachoin, Paris. Condition B+: loss in upper left corner; unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; tears and creases at edges; minor abrasions in image. Paper. Loïe Fuller (1862-1928) was the most acclaimed dancer of La Belle Époque. Her serpentine dance not only inspired some of the era's best artists, including Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin, but also captivated many of the greatest poster artists, like Chéret, Pal and Orazi, who captured her movements with lithography. By 1925, at the age of 63, she was still performing and was still capable of transfixing artists with her performance. Eliminating unnecessary lines and playing with colors and shapes, Paul Colin demonstrates a sensuous, cubist style that appears in none of his other works, fully capturing the movement and colors of her féeries fantastique. One of Colin's masterpieces, and one of the rarest of all his posters. Colin 4, Colin / Spectacles 126.
