Artist: Paul Colin Title: Rosario & Antonio Medium: Fine Art Reproduction Giclee on Canvas Image Size: Approximately 32 inches x 24 inches Framed: Unframed on Unstretched Canvas Paul Colin was one of France's greatest poster artists, best known for creating over 1,400 posters for the Revue N�gre, as well as numerous sets and costumes. A student of Eug�ne Vallin and of Victor Prouv�, he is considered a master of the modern school of poster art. His style is highly personal and impossible to categorise. The evocative force of his posters for grand causes marks him as a master of visual communication and his work remains relevant and fresh today. When still an aspiring artist, Paul Colin was commissioned by a friend at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees to design a poster publicizing La Revue N�gre, starring Josephine Baker. Josephine Baker accepted Colin's invitation to come to his studio to pose for the poster. Paul Colin and Josephine Baker became lovers and life-long friends. Their relationship was fortuitous for both, leading to a very successful artistic career for Colin, and introducing Baker through Colin to Paris' artistic elite.
