Further details

GEORGES LEPAPE, ALLEGORICAL FIGURE OF AIR, GRAPHITE, BODYCOLOUR, SIGNED AND NUMBERED

The subject of the present drawing, dated ‘May 1914’ on the mount, was probably reused some ten years later for a printed project: in 1925, Lepape designed a series of the Four elements to illustrate menus in three-color lithographs. Initially created for the casino restaurant in La Baule, they were also used for other restaurants, including the Parisian venue Chez Prunier for a luncheon of the ‘Fines gueules’ club in 1936. The Air presented here differs from the square-format menus printed in a monochrome of grey and white. The poetic figure with arms that seem to flow on the wind remains close to the present, more colourful composition.
