man I ever met’ – was one of car races, fashionable watering holes, casinos
and elegant automobile shows. He designed a great number of posters for
the department store, Au Bon Marché, and for many other diverse products.
To convey his message René Vincent used smiling faces, small children,
elegant or athletic people who projected a love of life which, between the
wars, was the hallmark of a particular segment of the French people. Color,
form, composition–everything is imbued with with a sense of carefree

Vincent sells more strongly than any other component.

One of the most celebrated dance acts in France
during the Jazz Age, Simone Roseray and Jacques
Cappella brought not only stunning acrobatics and

which required them to perform partially-nude.
Rumor had it that Roseray was even Capella’s
mother. This poster was created toward the end of
their fame, when the addition of the third member,
Sylvio, joined their small troupe. Within three years,
they would vanish from the spotlight.
Est: $2,500-$3,000.
