Madika. 1930.

ARTIST: PAUL COLIN (1892-1986) SIZE: 31 1/2 x 47 1/8 in./80 x 119.7 cm PRINTER: Imp. H. Chachoin, Paris DESCRIPTION: “This and the Olive Nègre poster are the only ones in black-and-white which I have seen in all the Colin posters viewed. The three dance positions of Madika, superimposed one on the other, give us a fine sense of dance and movement. But just who this Madika was remains a mystery. Colin frequently produced posters for obscure dancers and singers whom he befriended; this may be the legacy of such friendship” (Colin, p. 9). (Art Deco; Artist: Colin; Dance)
