PAUL COLIN THE CELEBRATED DESIGNER OF THE JAZZ AGE
Josephine Baker and her act, La Revue Nègre, took Paris by storm in 1925. The performance was accompanied by a bold art deco poster designed by a young French artist, Paul Colin. Colin captured the spirit and movement of the wild dance, the Charleston, newly imported from the United States of America, and the syncopated rhythms of a new art form called jazz. The poster launched the career of Colin, who went on to become one of the most celebrated art deco poster designers and caricaturists of the jazz age.

專家說明
Le Tumulte Noir is a portfolio of 42 original lithographs (most double-sided), all hand-coloured in pochoir. It was designed for and sold at the Bal Nègre, the special one-night event celebrating black culture in Paris. The Paris press called it a masterful work and it is still considered to be one of Colin’s masterworks. Only 500 copies of the portfolio were printed and very few complete copies are known to exist.
