Cleo de Merode - Folies Bergère - 1970s

Fascinating advertising poster dedicated to Folies Bergère, the famous Parisian theater, featuring Cléo de Mérode, iconic dancer and symbol of the Belle Époque.

The image shows the dancer in an elegant pose, captured from behind during a dance step, with a voluminous tutu and ballet slippers, rendered with great graphic delicacy and compositional harmony.

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

Dimensions: 68 x 47 cm

The poster faithfully reproduces the graphic language of the great French affichistes of the late 19th century, with flat color blocks, soft outlines and a warm, powdery color palette that recalls the original period works. The sinuous, decorative typography helps reinforce the theatrical and refined atmosphere of the work.

Printed on uncoated paper, it presents a natural patina of time, with slight waviness, signs of wear and yellowing consistent with its age and the decorative purpose of the poster. It is an ideal item for collectors of French advertising graphics, lovers of theater and dance, or for vintage decor with great charm.
