Description from the seller
An original, fascinating advertising poster for GITANES Cigarettes, illustrated by the renowned French artist René Vincent, one of the most important illustrators of the early 20th century, known for his elegant and dynamic style tied to Art Deco and vintage advertising graphics.
The subject depicts the famous dancing female figure, iconic symbol of the Gitanes brand, rendered with flowing lines and strong color contrast. The composition is extremely cinematic: the movement of the figure, combined with the dark silhouette and chromatic details, creates an image with great visual impact and recognizability.
The lot includes:
• Poster Gitanes
• Signature in print “René Vincent” visible
• Editorial indication: ADAGP Paris 1995
• Print produced by Imprimerie St. Martin – Paris
Measurements:
• approximately 54 x 40 cm
Conditions:
• generally good condition
• evident signs of aging, light creases, small surface marks, and slight waviness of the paper
• overall well preserved with graphics still very vivid and legible
René Vincent is considered one of the masters of French advertising illustration, active between the 1920s and 1940s, author of iconic posters for cars, fashion, and consumer products. His works are today highly sought after by collectors for elegance, modernity, and historical value.
An iconic and highly decorative poster, perfect for collectors of advertising affiches or for spaces with vintage and retro taste.
