Paul Colin Le Tumulte Noir : 35 Plates 1929 lithograph with pochoir in colors on Velin teinte sheet (single): 18.75 h x 12.625 w in (48 x 32 cm) sheet (double): 18.75 h x 25.75 w in (48 x 65 cm) This portfolio was published at the height of "the Black Craze" in Paris, a period of several years during which black dancers and jazz musicians enjoyed great popularity. It all started in 1925 when the troupe then playing at the Plantation Club in New York City's Harlem neighborhood was brought to Paris, and lead dancer Josephine Baker introduced the French to that new sensation: the Charleston. Colin, who was in on the whole thing from the beginning, collected the sketches he made of her and of other black performers who followed; these plates, published in a limited edition of 500, are the result. The images were drawn directly on the stone by Colin at the Chachoin plant in Paris and then stencil-colored (the term for this technique is pochoir). Pulsating with color and movement, the portfolio contains the very best of Colin's lithographic work. Signed to each lithograph 'Paul Colin'. This partial portfolio of seventeen single page, double-sided lithographs and one double page, double-sided folded sheet is from the edition of 500 printed by Henri Chachoin and published by Editions d'Art Succes, Paris. Sold with original hand-painted portfolio. Literature: (both var): Colin Affichiste, p. 40-53; PAI-XCII, 189 This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.
