ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SCALA / MARGUERITE DEVAL. Circa 1905. 31 1/2x23 1/2 inches, 80x59 3/4 cm. Ch. Wall, Paris. Condition B+: right margin slightly trimmed; replaced losses and repaired tears at edges, some into image; unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; repaired pin holes at upper edge; tax stamp in upper right image. Marguerite Deval was an extremely popular comic character and a tireless actress who performed at venues all over Paris. Here she stars in a sexy vaudeville show as a servant who becomes embroiled in a husband-wife-lover trio. If the image of the engaged couple in the background doesn't give this away, the title of the play does: "Quand il y en a pour deux" is the beginning of a French expression, "when there's enough for two . . ." the end of which is "il y en a pour trois," ". . . there's enough for three." The message is clear. Wine Spectator, pl. 116.

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 59 3/4 x 45 1/2 in./151.6 x 115.5 cm PRINTER: Affiches Robert, Paris DESCRIPTION: Barrère, with his jaundiced eye and deft hand, seldom seemed to illustrate anything without an ironic edge to it, and this poster for Cinéma Pathé does not appear to be an exception. "Everyone brings their children there!" says the legend above, as wealthy industrialists and military officers and their children (all in exceptionally vibrant colors) watch a parade of wealthy industrialists and military officers on the silver screen, in what might be a promotion for Cinéma Pathé's new home motion-picture-camera technology. Founder Charles Pathé was the first international cinema mogul, and from the company's inception through World War I, he helped produce more film footage than all other European and American producers combined.

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 37 x 51 in./94 x 129.5 cm PRINTER: Imp. Ch. Wall, Paris DESCRIPTION: Caricaturist and chronicler of the Paris stage with a far kinder pen than Toulouse-Lautrec, Barrère gave us portraits of performers who we might never know otherwise. Isaure seems to have been something of a theatrical oddity, singing early French songs and transforming herself top to bottom for each period. Barrère captured her pursed expression wonderfully, but it’s the strong shapes and colors of her medieval dress and hat that hold our attention today. (Art Nouveau; Music)

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 23 7/8 x 31 3/4 in./61 x 80.8 cm PRINTER: Imp. Ch. Wall, Paris DESCRIPTION: Barrère is well known for his portrayal of France’s leading music hall and theatrical personalities of the first quarter of the 20th century. His caricature style, using flat colors and broad treatments, turned these images into delightful and witty designs. Here, for a revue called “Come Crazy-Crowd,” the gentleman appears to have some eyes on the young lady carrying a hat box. (Art Nouveau; Theatre)

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 39 x 54 3/4 in./99 x 139 cm PRINTER: Imp. Ch. Wall, Paris DESCRIPTION: Punchinello, the selfish, schizoid rascal of commedia dell’arte combined empty-headed folly with cruelty in order to concoct outrageous schemes to satisfy his animal-like lust and gluttony. Self-sufficient, witty, coarse, obscene, and debauched, the hunchback with the long crimson nose would eventually become the inspiration for Punch of Punch and Judy fame. Precisely what cockamamie plot he’s planting in this professorial character’s imagination isn’t made public, but with a title that translates as “Everybody’s Open Secret,” there must have been plenty of Parisians that made their way to the Théâtre du Gymnase to uncover just what this surreptitious comedy encompassed.

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 30 7/8 x 46 1/2 in./78.5 x 118.2 cm PRINTER: Lith. G. Bataille, Paris DESCRIPTION: Harry Fragson rose from the dismal slums of London, a childhood of grinding poverty, and a mentally disturbed father to become one of the best entertainers on the music hall circuit. His style was that of a jester with a masterly delivery of comic songs; he accompanied himself on a piano which one critic called "the most powerful disintegrating force" the stage had known up to then (that was before Jimmy Durante's time, of course). He was extremely popular in Paris and performed in a variety of theatres. In 1913, Fragson returned home from one of his trips to Paris and went to see his father. For no apparent reason, the deranged man shot him dead. This is surely one of the most expressive of all Barrère's posters—and rare! (Art Nouveau; Music)

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 46 1/2 x 62 5/8 in./118 x 159 cm PRINTER: Imp. Philippe de Girard, Paris DESCRIPTION: "Mother Angot gives you word that the United Fishermen can get the catch from the port right to your table, including all fish, oysters, lobsters, scallops and the like." A savvy Frenchman would know Mother Angot is an archetype of the fishwife. Once a term of denigration, the "lewd, harsh truth" of fishwives' speech became a signifier of a democratic, revolutionary spirit: "the raw eloquence of the street," and "the real voice of the market." Mère Angot became a recurring character in Opéra Comique plays; fishwives helped bring down the Bastille. (Art Deco; Food/Drink)

ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 47 3/4 x 62 7/8 in./121.2 x 159.6 cm PRINTER: Affiche d'Art Robert, Paris DESCRIPTION: Considered to be the first international movie star, Max Linder became synonymous with French comedy of the early 1900s. It's a natural match, then, for the lithographic humorist Barrère to take on the actor in this design for Cinema Pathé. Slapstick comedy is distilled in one frozen moment: shirttails akimbo, hat tilted, monocle afloat, and Linder grinning mischievouslyas if Barrère caught a candid moment with his camera.

Wall, Paris DESCRIPTION: Dranem, truly named Armand Ménard (1869-1935), was a unique sort of figure of the café-concert. Playing the perfect idiot, he created a liberated personality, an outlet from the repression of all that was moral and sophisticated (Collectionneur, p. 104). Here, in stark opposition to his stage persona, the famous comedian arrives at the theatre with song sheets, gloves, coat, and umbrella in hand, attempting professionalismbut his goofiness shines through.

Philippe de Girard, Paris DESCRIPTION: "Mother Angot gives you word that the United Fishermen can get the catch from the port right to your table, including all fish, oysters, lobsters, scallops and the like." A savvy Frenchman would know Mother Angot is an archetype of the fishwife. Once a term of denigration, the "lewd, harsh truth" of fishwives' speech became a signifier of a democratic, revolutionary spirit: "the raw eloquence of the street," and "the real voice of the market." Mère Angot became a recurring character in Ópera Comique plays; fishwives helped bring down the Bastille. (Art Deco; Food/Drink)

Cinéma Pathé. 1909.
Est: $7,000 - $9,000
ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 59 3/4 x 45 1/2 in./151.6 x 115.5 cm PRINTER: Affiches Robert, Paris DESCRIPTION: Barrére, with his jaundiced eye and deft hand, seldom seemed to illustrate anything without an ironic edge to it, and this poster for Cinéma Pathé does not appear to be an exception. "Everyone brings their children there!" says the legend above, as wealthy industrialists and military officers and their children (all in exceptionally vibrant colors) watch a parade of wealthy industrialists and military officers on the silver screen, in what might be a promotion for Cinéma-Pathé's new home motion-picture-camera technology. Founder Charles Pathé was the first international cinema mogul, and from the company's inception through World War I, he helped produce more film footage than all other European and American producers combined.

Manège Petit. 1895.
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 39 1/2 x 54 3/4 in./100.3 x 139 cm PRINTER: Imp. Ch. Wall, Paris DESCRIPTION: Barrère went to law school and then medical school, thought both professions absurd, and then turned to caricature, thereby becoming famous. There's always something a little mischievous and cunning about his human figures, and this attitude is deployed perfectly for this bicycle dealership on the Champs-Élysées. It not only has the largest bike selection in all of Parisit also offers a "Manège Petit," or enclosed arena, for bicycle-riding lessons. This Bicycle-Miss is ingeniously illustrated: a skirt and blouse in flat color, straight out of a Toulouse-Lautrec or Villon piece, but with a more naturalistic face and head, and an unmistakable expression: "You too can be as clever as I ammobile, free, and balanced upon this bike," she seems to intone. One of the great seldom-seen works by Barrère. (Bicycles; Art Nouveau; By Air, Land, or Sea)

"Everyone brings their children there!" says the legend above, as wealthy industrialists and military officers and their children (all in exceptionally vibrant colors) watch a parade of wealthy industrialists and military officers on the silver screen, in what might be a promotion for Cinéma-Pathé's new home motion-picture-camera technology.

Alcool de Menthe de Ricqlès. ca. 1899.
Est: $1,700 - $2,000
ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 62 7/8 x 47 in./159.7 x 119.2 cm PRINTER: Affiches dArt Robert, Paris DESCRIPTION: Barrère once again applies his artistic scalpel to the ruling classes with this ingenious advertisement for Ricqlés, a product rather halfway between a digestif and a mouthwash (yes, a revelation!). Barrère stacks up a phalanx of French royals, imagining what they'd each say upon a taste of Alcool de Menthe de Ricqlès. From left: Charlemagne ( "I would have used it to refresh the youth of the schools"); François I ("What economy! A few drops in a glass of water are enough"); Henry IV ("What a scented breath to talk about love!"); Saint Louis ("If I had known about it, I would have given it to my people with the chicken in the pot"); Louis XIV ("What a wonderful digestive to conclude 6 meals a day!"); and Napoleon ("That the Grand Armée did not have it! They would have conquered thirst and fatigue"). Standing at center between them is a very modern Marianne, telling us all "It's the hygenic product perfect for the 20th century!" Note how the amorous Henry IV is looking at Mariane, with his vulpine eyes. This is the one-sheet version of the image. (Alcohol; Art Nouveau)

Select.
Est: $1,400 - $1,700
ARTIST: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) SIZE: 45 1/4 x 62 1/2 in./115 x 158.7 cm PRINTER: Affiches D'Art Robert, Paris DESCRIPTION: Barrère went to law school and then medical school, thought both professions absurd, and then turned to caricature, thereby becoming famous. His posters revel portraying the (knowing or unknowing) absurdity of elite figures, and this hilarious poster is of a piece. It's advertising a kind of "turning heel" constructed without screws or a plate perhaps for dancing? It "rallies all the votes," Barrère says while portraying a politician, hat doffed (so that you may put money in it?), while identifying how he will "turn on his heel" in an ascerbic comment on the dance of politics.
