ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953) ST. HONORÉ LES BAINS. Circa 1928. 39x24 inches, 99x61 cm. Pierre Lafitte, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears, restored losses and restoration in margins and image. Although widely recognized for his landscapes, Broders' most popular posters depict people. His "most recognized creations stage elegant couples dressed in the latest fashion, drawn in a style that could have led him to produce fashion art for magazines, such as 'Vogue' or 'La Gazette du Bon Ton' . . . [these couples] promote the concept of luxury in fashion at each of [the] resorts" (Perry / Broders p. 12). Here, in a languid, almost Gatsby-esque moment, a couple relaxes beneath a shady tree to watch the activity below them. Broders p. 53, Perry / Broders p. 51, Tennis p. 37, Voyage p. 37, Hillion p. 107.
