La Nuit au Temps des Ballets Russes. 1952.
Paul Colin not only designed posters for the revolutionary Ballets Russes—he also made significant contributions to the troupe as a theatrical designer. In 1952, he again provided his creative services—this time, for a summer resort ball at the municipal casino, which was surely a festive occasion. Colin's spectacular brevity once more comes to the fore: the vivacity and flare of the evening's festivities are encapsulated in the sole dancer's featureless form; she's exuberantly lost in the purity of uninhibited movement.
Size: 15 3/4 x 23 1/2 in./40 x 59.6 cm
Condition: B/ Slight tears at edges.
Printer: P.S.P., Paris
Reference: Ref: PAI-LXXVIII, 255
Key Words: Modern; Artist: Colin; Dance
