Item Overview

Description

Lampe 'Sirius'.Not your standard issue "Beautiful People" Romeo and Juliet to be sure, but Bofa's cleverly illuminated vision for Sirius light bulbs reveals the star-crossed pair in an irreverently humorous light. Bofa, son of an Army colonel, was a colorful personality with a checkered career, from infantryman to metallurgical engineer, who inexplicably suddenly drifted to humorous drawings and caricature. His incisive, witty work was so good that he became a member of the editorial staff of Le Rire, Le Sourire, La Petite Semaine and La Baionnette; together with printer Devambez, he founded the Salon de Araignee, a haven for independent artists. This is the smaller format.
GUS BOFA (Gustave Blanchot, ?-1968)
