Artist: G.K. BENDA (Georges Kugelmann) Size: 45 5/8 x 60 3/.4 in./115.8 x 154.3 cm Philippe G. Dreyfus, Paris My, is it windy out there! G.K. Benda may well have taken a page from L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, as he depicts Mistinguett fetchingly pulling a Toto-esque purse pup back from the whipping winds. Over her 50-year career in French song, dance, and cabaret, Mistinguett was known both for her coquettish whimsy and for her flamboyant costumes, which we see here: a red chrysanthemum-like butterfly at the end of her hat, extending from caterpillar-like stripes; ivy on her shoe-buckles; the candy-cane-like line of the dog leash... This costume is perfect for both December and March holidays. (Dog)
