Lot description

ARTIST: PAUL COLIN (1892-1986) SIZE: 15 3/4 x 23 3/8 in./40 x 59.5 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: The Bal Tabarin opened its doors in 1904, and became home to the cancan, then later the Charleston, and then whatever the latest dance craze was. From the outside it looked like the entrance to a tomb, but inside it was hot and, as the magazine Candide put it: “The star of the Tabarin, that’s woman” (March 4, 1937). Colin expresses this idea graphically with one of his favorite techniques, a multiple exposure of three women doing the cancan, the Charleston, and a ballroom dance. This is the smaller format. (Art Deco; Artist: Colin; Dance)
