Original Design Date: 1926
Date of Restrike:1980s
Size: 46 x 62 inches
Artist: André Daudé
This poster is actually based on a piano advertisement from the 1920s for Pianos Daudé.
The business of selling pianos was originally founded in 1924 by André Daudé. To avoid the draft of the First World War, Daudé - like many others - rushed into the piano business. His first sale was a local affair: his neighbor, wanting to rid himself of his music player, enlisted Daudé's help in its reselling - and voilà! A passion was born! What's more, the president of the French company and the poster's artist are one and the same. This stunning design was originally created specifically for the piano store on Avenue Wagram in Paris, which still exists to this day. It is truly inspired: The diagonal placement of the piano instantly animates the entire scene, and the overhead view of the baldheaded pianist adds just the right note of humor. [Rennert, PAI-XVIII, 309]
Poster is in very good condition. From a private collection.
