Un Bal Masque (1927). Jules Cavailles (French, 1901-1977) & Roger Limouse (French, 1894-1989). Poster.
Clearly influenced by Cubist and Dadaist aesthetics, the duo of Cavailles and Limouse conceived of this energetic design for a Mardi Gras masked ball at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. This particular event benefited the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Cavailles and Limouse both studied at the Académie Julian and participated in various Parisian Salons; both Post Impressionist painters, they were members of the art group “Painters of Poetic Reality.” The two shared a studio for six years and held several exhibitions together.
