CHARLES DELAUNAY (1911-1983) PARIS JAZZ FESTIVAL. 1949.
31 1/2x23 inches.
Condition B+: water staining in image; vertical fold; text banner pasted on image.
The son of the famous artists Robert & Sonia Delaunay, Charles got involved with jazz very early on, founding Jazz Hot, the first French Magazine dedicated to the subject, in 1935. He was the friend and mentor of Django Rheinart and was active in the Paris jazz scene for his entire life. He also inherited a good artistic sense from his parents, using his skills to make portraits of jazz musicians and occasionally posters like this well balanced typographic announcement for the 1949 Paris Jazz Festival. A very rare document.
