Charles Gesmar - Gilda Gray - 1970s

An authentic masterpiece from the Golden Age of cabaret and Parisian theatre. This extraordinary manifesto, paneled in a plate by the legendary French illustrator Charles Gesmar, celebrates the iconic dancer and actress Gilda Gray, the undisputed queen of the Shimmy and star of American silent cinema. Gesmar, renowned for shaping the visual image and costumes of Mistinguett and the greatest stages of Paris in the 1920s, here expresses the quintessence of Art Deco style. The work captures the sinuous elegance of the dancer in a dynamic, floating pose, framed by a cascade of very long, finely stylized dark hair that recalls the ornamental motifs of the era. In the background, a suggestive play of geometric vertical lines engages warm orange, green, and gold tones, highlighting the sensuality and theatricality of the figure. The artist's signature, “C. Gesmar 25,” is clearly visible on the right-hand side. A work of great visual impact and extreme rarity on the market, perfect for enriching a collection of vintage posters or for adding a touch of refined vintage glamour to an exclusive setting.
