This 79 year old original print is by Ernesto Michaelles (1893-1959), who produced sculpture, paintings, fabric designs, theatrical costumes and fashion illustrations under the pseudonym "THAYAHT"
Michaelles, fascinated with applying his study of dynamic symmetry (Paris and Harvard) to the arts, created his hallmark style by combining the geometrics of cubism with the Art Deco curvilinear style - the achievement of motion and elegance all in one go!
UNE ROBE DE MADELEINE VIONNET is done in the hand-colored pochoir technique and is classic THAYAHT. It appeared as plate #62 in issue #8 of the Gazette du Bon Ton 1922. The condition is fine.
