Le Tumulte Noir, Paul Colin – 1
Paul Colin's work is dominated by show business, to which he devoted most of his work, not only as a poster-painter but also as a costume and set designer.
When Josephine Baker, the dancer at the Broadway Music hall, met Paul Colin during rehearsals for the Revue Nègre in Paris in 1925, neither was known by the general public. No one really suspected that this show would propel them both towards worldwide fame.
In a magnificent album published in 1927, Le Tumulte Noir, Paul Colin grasped everything that the "black madness" embodied by Josephine Baker and La Revue Nègre represented during the roaring twenties. It captures a spirit in which gaiety, rhythm, daring and elegance derives from Jazz.
