LARIONOV, Mikhail (Russian, 1881-1964). Bal de La Grande Ourse (Six examples). 1925. Lithograph on paper. 19 ½ x 13”. The emigrant Russian artistic community in Montparnasse was very active starting in the years before WWII. The large ball they hosted every year in order to raise money for their union was one of the highlights of the Paris avant-garde season. In 1925 it was the Bal de la Grande Ourse (the Big Dipper). This double-sided, broadside program features cubist designs by Larionov, part of a musical score, a list of participants and more. Original quarterfolds with some edges chipped and some tears at folds. Paper toned at edges. Good condition.
