About the Artist
Tsuguharu Foujita, also known as Leonard Foujita in Paris, was a Japanese-French painter and printmaker who became a prominent figure in the École de Paris during the 1920s. Renowned for merging traditional Japanese techniques with the vibrancy of Parisian modernism, Foujita captured the spirit of his era through elegant lines and a unique cross-cultural perspective.
This vintage poster is a natural fit within our famous artists art prints, reflecting the creative ferment that defined early twentieth-century Paris.
The Artwork
Commissioned in 1926, 4eme Bal de AAAA was designed to advertise a lively Parisian ball set in the iconic Moulin de la Galette, a symbol of Montmartre’s bohemian nightlife. Such events were central to the city’s cultural life, drawing together artists, performers, and revelers in a celebration of music, dance, and creative freedom.
This poster served both as a public announcement and as a lasting memento of the exuberant Jazz Age, encapsulating the social energy and artistic innovation of interwar Paris. Today, it stands as a testament to the city’s enduring reputation for artistic gatherings and festive spirit, making it a sought-after piece among collectors of vintage French posters and advertising art.
Style & Characteristics
The design features a harmonious balance of open space and bold graphic elements, with Foujita’s signature crisp black lines outlining the central motif and expressive typography. The composition is anchored by a warm beige background, enlivened by subtle touches of pink, yellow, and blue that evoke a celebratory mood without overwhelming the viewer.
Light, selective shading and precise contours lend the image clarity and immediacy, characteristic of interwar Parisian poster design. The overall effect is both festive and refined, resonating with the elegance found in other beige toned prints from the same period.
In Interior Design
This vintage poster brings a touch of Montmartre’s artistic vibrancy to interiors, making it ideal for living rooms, entryways, or creative spaces. Its balanced palette and graphic clarity allow it to complement Art Deco furnishings, eclectic collections, or minimalist decor seeking a single historical accent.
Pair it with black or natural wood frames and echo its colors with soft pink or blue accessories for a cohesive look. For a harmonious gallery wall, consider combining it with other works from our vintage advertising posters or beige toned prints collections.
