Carlos Bady: Set of 4 Art Deco Pochoir. La Journee de Mado

Vintage Collectibles : Paintings, Prints

 

Set of four original pochoir illustrations from La Journee de Mado published by Galerie Lutetia, Paris, 1932, as “la journée de Mado” (the day of Mado, consisting of Mado Se Maquille, Mado S’ Habille, Mado se Deshabille, Mado Babille).

Those 4 have been produced as the last pochoir pieces of the era during the harsh economic times that followed 1929 when many of the smaller couture houses had closed and several of the great illustrators had joined Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar to help ensure steady work.

Size of the prints: 18cm x 24cm ( 7 x 9,45 inches). Fine condition ( the actual printings are without any faults, one graphic has some dark fingerprints at the right margin).

They depict Mado, a fashionable, young French lady with putti, helping her when she dresses up, does her makeup or makes a phone call.

Complete sets of 4 are not offered often.
