Spanish by birth, Madrazo moved to Paris in 1930; in the following decade, he designed a series of posters promoting many of the Spanish dancers and performers in Paris. While most of these commissions were for second-rate acts, Madrazo brought a first-rate style to his work. All of his posters reflect his immediately recognizable personal style, in which he elongates his subjects into virtual ribbons and elastic bands, creating swirling movement out of their unusual contortions.
