Monte Carlo - Girl
Monte Carlo - Girl
(64cm x 98cm)
When this image was created by Domergue c1950 to promote travel to Monte Carlo, it caused a furor. It was thought that the suggestive nudity in the image was not suitable for public display. It eventually was distributed and became highly collected.
Jean-Gabriel Domergue created this colorful vintage poster circa 1950. The poster was for Monte Carlo, where the artist lived. He rubbed elbows with high-society, organized formal balls, designed fashion accessories and was somewhat of a local celebrity. Women in his posters are always long-necked with delicate faces and depicted in rich colors. His poster style was befitting of the upper class luxuries he advertised.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
