[JOSEPHINE BAKER.] Circa 1970.
233/4x19 inches.
Condition A. Matted and framed.
Josephine Baker and two performers from La Revue Negre depicted in brown, white and red. Prepared late in his life by Colin as a limited edition lithograph, this image was based on the famous poster he created for La Revue Negre in 1925 (for most of his life Colin continued dating his work 1925, regardless of when it was done, as a seeming tribute to what he must have considered the most significant year in his career); signed and numbered 76 / 150 in pencil.
