ARTIST: MAURICE LAURO (1878-?) SIZE: 28 1/2 x 40 1/4 in./72.3 x 102.3 cm PRINTER: Imp. Devambez, Paris DESCRIPTION: One of the finest travel posters ever created—Lauro's Art Deco masterpiece perfects a vision of Trouville's boardwalk as the place to see and be seen in the 1920s. With the famed Casino in the background, every detail here is perfect: from the beauty mark on the foremost flapper's cheek, to the exaggerated hat-doffing of the gentleman, to the whiplash of two college lads, one éminence grise, and a German Shepherd—even to the au courant stylings of the women's footwear. All things contribute to the chic, dynamic, head-turning ambiance of France's first resort town, a favorite of Monet, Flaubert, Proust, and Duras—now thoroughly fashioned as a place for the Great Gatsby to make an appearance. The artist, Lauro, is also known for his Le Rire caricatures and film posters. (Art Deco; Travel)
