Original Description
This exquisite costume design by Carl (Charles) Gesmar for the legendary French entertainer Mistinguett transports us to the dazzling world of 1920s Parisian cabaret. Executed in vibrant watercolors with precise pencil outlines, the artwork captures Gesmar's distinctive Art Deco style - characterized by sleek lines, bold patterns, and an intoxicating blend of sophistication and theatrical flair. Gesmar, as Mistinguett's principal designer throughout her peak years at the Moulin Rouge, revolutionized stage costume by merging fashion illustration with fine art techniques. The painting's dynamic composition and electric color palette perfectly embody the exuberant spirit of les années folles (the "crazy years" between World Wars), while Gesmar's innovative approach established costume design as a legitimate art form. This particular piece represents a significant artifact of performance history, showcasing how Gesmar visualized Mistinguett's stage persona through monumental headdresses and fluid, revealing silhouettes that accentuated her famous legs.
For interior decoration, this Gesmar masterpiece would create a stunning focal point in an entertainment room, boutique hotel lobby, or creative workspace. Its ideal dimensions (typically around 50x70cm in original form) allow for impactful display above a console table or as part of a salon-style gallery wall. Frame it in a thin gold leaf frame with museum glass to enhance the watercolor's luminosity while complementing the Art Deco elements. The rich blues and reds in the costume work beautifully with navy velvet upholstery or rose-toned accent walls, creating a sophisticated color echo. In a modern office, it would inspire creativity when paired with sleek ebony furniture and brass desk accessories. For period authenticity, display alongside 1920s crystal decanters or a Lalique vase, but the design's graphical quality also harmonizes surprisingly well with contemporary mid-century modern pieces. Always position away from direct sunlight to preserve the delicate watercolors.
