Rene Gruau was a great fashion illustrator and is an artist - in the full term of the word. His  C'est Magnifique  , 4 sheets measururing 240 by 320cms , created for the Lido was a 'clin d'oeil' at Toulouse Lautrec's Moulin Rouge , they are  similar compositions. It is a great poster , rivalling Lautrec you could ask ?  Beautifully printed by Cinemato in the early 1960's.                            

Too big for most decorative purposes the poster is a wonderful piece of graphic art , if kept upbacked it is potentially a great investment. We have purchased a group.

Three months in Paris and we have purchased some 'really' good vintage posters , some replaced old favorites but many new items.They will be  soon up on the website 'new puchases '  section. 

We have another Mmme de P. One on the absolute top posters , considered by the print community as an original work by Matisse. The Museum of Mod. Art. New Yourk offer giclee prints of their own collection piece. For those interested in the Mourlot Matisse relationship visit the grandson's website www.mourlot.free.fr for an excellent survey of the original posters created at the Mourlot Atelier in Paris.
