PAUL COLIN (1892-1986) [BAL NÉGRE].
25x19 1/2 inches, 63 1/2x49 1/2 cm.
Condition A-: minor abrasions at edges; light foxing in image; hand-signed and numbered 83/150 by the artist in pencil. Paper.
Prepared late in Colin's life as a limited edition lithograph, this image was based on the famous poster he created for La Revue Nègre in 1925. For most of his life Colin continued dating his work 1925, regardless of when it was done, apparently as a tribute to what he must have considered the most significant year in his career.
