inches, 105x74 cm. Devambez, Paris.
Condition B+: overpainting and restoration in image; unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds.
An engaging Art Deco rendition of a bustling, fashionable day on Trouville’s boardwalk, filled with
style, beauty, glamour, color and patterns to the point that it “seems to encapsulate the essence of
bright young thingery” (Hillier, p. 148). Executed in the manner of the fashionable Art Deco magazines
of the era (Lauro was a magazine illustrator who specialized in fashion), this graceful, joyful and elegant
celebration of the happy-go-lucky Roaring Twenties speaks to Lauro’s mastery of his craft. Hillier p.
148 (var).
