Description from the seller

Splendid manifesto dedicated to Serge Lifar, legendary dancer and choreographer of the 20th century, a central figure of the Ballets Russes and the Paris scene.

Note: This is a later edition, probably from the 1970s.

The image, signed at the top by Paul Colin, one of the greatest masters of French poster design, represents a refined example of theatrical graphics with a strong visual impact.

The composition is extraordinary: the stylized female face, immersed in delicate pinkish and black hues, blends with the tall dancer in a classical pose, creating a scenographic effect of great modernity. The contrast between the dark background and the luminous silhouette of the dancer generates depth and elegance, while the intense red typeface “SERGE LIFAR” gives strength and theatricality to the whole.

A work of great charm, perfect for collectors of theater posters, dance and French graphic art of the twentieth century, but also for those who want a decorative element with strong personality. An iconic subject that unites art, movement and refined graphics.
