55 1/8 x 39 1/2 in./140 x 100.4 cm
Imp. Val d’Osne
Cond B+/Slight tears and stains, largely at folds.
A far cry from the Barnum & Bailey pageantry and less bent on impressing the viewer with sheet-bound reproductions of fantastical feats, this Vertes design for the Big Circus of ‘57 at the Palais des Sports drifts through our imagination like a sugar-spun menagerie, its less-than-substantive envoys kindling a whimsical spark rather than attempting to rouse our thrill-seeking nature. VertËs, a highly talented painter and illustrator, was born in Budapest. After an initial stint designing political posters in his home town following World War I, he settled in Paris, chronicling the city life during the Roaring Twenties. Later, he would relocate once more, this time to the United States.
