Paul Colin (1892 – 1985) was one of France’s greatest poster artists. He was made famous in 1925 by his poster for the Revue Nègre, which helped to launch the career of Joséphine Baker. He worked for over forty years in the theatre, creating not only posters but also numerous sets and costumes.
Very Art Déco at the outset, (his Le Tumulte Noir, ‘The Black Craze’ is a masterpiece of the genre), his style quickly became highly personal and impossible to categorize: the synthetic accuracy of his portraits, the evocative force of his posters for grand causes so marked him as a master of visual communication that his work today remains relevant and fresh. A student of Eugène Vallin and of Victor Prouvé, he is considered a master of the modern school of poster art. He is the author of over 1400 posters and many theatrical set and costume designs.
The evocative force of his posters for grand causes marks him as a master of visual communication and his work remains relevant and fresh today.
