Original Description
Le Clin D'oeil by Chas-Laborde is a captivating illustration that epitomizes the elegant wit and sophisticated charm of French interwar graphic art. Created circa 1930 by renowned illustrator Charles Laborde (1886-1941), this work showcases his signature Art Deco style characterized by streamlined forms, playful eroticism, and subtle humor - qualities that made him a favorite chronicler of Parisian high society. The composition depicts a coquettish exchange between a fashionably dressed woman and an admirer, rendered with Laborde's distinctive economy of line that recalls both Japanese woodblock prints and modern cartooning. Preserved in many collections including the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, these works represent an important bridge between belle époque illustration and mid-century graphic design, capturing the liberated spirit of les années folles through precisely balanced compositions that suggest movement within stillness.
For contemporary interiors, Le Clin D'oeil makes an exceptional conversational piece when framed in minimalist black or gold leaf frames (approximately 50x65cm reproduction suggested). Its warm sepia tones complement both neutral schemes and rich jewel-toned palettes - try pairing with emerald greens or sapphire blues in upholstery. The work shines in spaces celebrating artistic heritage: corporate lobbies seeking cultured sophistication, private libraries needing visual intrigue, or dining rooms requiring playful elegance. Consider grouping with other Deco-era prints using consistent mat widths for gallery-style impact, or let it stand alone as a focal point above a console table styled with geometric objets d'art. The intimate scale invites close viewing, making it perfect for spaces where guests linger - positioned at eye level near seating areas or along transitional corridors to reward pausing viewers with its delightful narrative vignette.
