ZIG (LOUIS GAUDIN, 1882-1936) CASINO DE PARIS / MISTINGUETT / PARIS QUI BRILLE. 1931. 34¾x15½ inches, 88¼x39½ cm. Central Publicité, Paris. Condition A-: repaired pin holes in corners; minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. One of two posters executed by Zig for Mistinguett's revue "Paris Dazzles." For this production, which Alain Weill contends was an attempt by Mistinguett to wrench the limelight away from Josephine Baker, the singer "revealed to the Parisian public a series of tableaux . . . Ben Hur's chariot and a circus tournament, a Roman orgy on a turning stage [and] a snow storm on a bridge" (Folies Bergere p. 11)."Efficient and perfectly balanced, this poster is clear proof of Zig's maturity in the beginning of the thirties" (ibid.). This is the smaller format. Folies Bergere 67, Affiches Art Deco p. 12, Weill / Encyclopedie p. 233.
