Original Description
Rues Et Visages De Paris by Chas-Laborde captures the vibrant yet melancholic soul of interwar Paris through its distinctive graphic style. Created in the 1930s by French illustrator Charles Laborde (1886-1941), this work epitomizes the art deco movement’s streamlined elegance while nodding to German Expressionism’s emotional intensity. Laborde’s masterful use of bold black lines and selective color washes immortalizes fleeting street scenes—crooked alleys, wistful faces of flower sellers, and glowing café terraces—blending documentary precision with poetic license. As part of the "Images de Paris" series, it reflects the cultural nostalgia of the era, bridging early 20th-century illustration and modernist printmaking. Art historians value these works for their anthropological insight into Parisian life, positioning Laborde as a quieter yet incisive counterpart to contemporaries like Toulouse-Lautrec or Foujita.
For decor, this lithograph’s muted sepia and slate-blue palette suits both traditional and minimalist interiors. Its ideal space would be a study or lounge—where its narrative richness invites contemplation—framed in a slender black oak or gilded Art Deco-style border to echo its 1930s origins. Pair it with sculptural furniture like a Jean-Michel Frank sofa or industrial metal shelving to balance its lyrical lines. A medium size (approx. 50x70cm) ensures visibility without overwhelming, while strategic lighting (warm-focused spotlights) enhances its textured detailing. In offices, place it near neutral-toned walls to let its cinematic vignettes spark conversation without clashing with modern tech setups. The key is honoring its vintage soul while letting it breathe in contemporary contexts.
