It originally appeared in a French fashion magazine of the time. It is NOT a recent reproduction print. It is an original advertisement for the Dior-Dior fragrance that was launched in 1976. The print was illustrated by Rene Gruau. The creative friendship between Christian Dior and Rene Gruau was a collaboration which celebrated a special spirit which continued for many years, even after Dior’s death in 1957. Gruau’s breathtaking use of bold color and strong graphic lines enhances the allure of Dior’s fragrance. This image captures the essence of an iconic fragrance as well as the spirit of a creative genius. It is signed by Gruau with his recognizable “g” initial. The image is wonderfully chic and would bring fun and life to any décor. French Dior advertisements have become highly desirable and incredibly difficult to find with the passage of time. This print is now quite RARE. Excellent condition consistent with age and history. 8.75 x 12 inches in size. Comes custom matted in a 16 x 20 inch neutral toned mat that works in a standard size frame. See less
