16-6449Circa 1920s-1930s. Original ink drawing. 25 x 32 cm. A tiger berates an elephant driver with 2 female passengers for yelling at him. "Charléno aka Carlo is regarded as one of the two or three most talented and striking artists who provided illustrations to the French erotic book trade in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. His work is held in the highest esteem along with that of Cheri Herouard and another more mysterious illustrator called ‘Wighead.’ Carlo is celebrated for his strong lines and forms which are nonetheless coupled with the most delicate treatment of fabrics such as lace and satin and most importantly a unique and bold imaginative vision.Surprisingly though despite his popularity with the book buying public at the time and the subsequent collectability of his illustrations very little is known about Carlo; all that can be stated with any confidence is the dates when he was active: between about 1910 and the mid-1930s. Readers may sometimes see these given as birth and death dates of 1900 to 1930; this can be disregarded. Whoever our artist was he must have been born around 1890 if not earlier to become old enough and skilled enough to find employment by the second decade of the twentieth century. We simply don’t know why his output ceased in 1936."

16-6379France: Circa early 20th Century. Ink on paper. Matted. 20 x 16cm. Signed and dedicated.Rene Georges Hermann-Paul born in Paris he trained as a painter at both the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs and the Academie Julian. Hermann-Paul’s prints and caricatures established his reputation by the beginning of the twentieth century. His drawings for Le Courrier Francais starting in 1894 and for Le Rire as well as his active support of Alfred Dreyfus led to involvement with anarchist journals. A satirist of bourgeois values cynical abrasive and even rude in his depictions Hermann-Paul was an active social commentator for more than three decades although in his last years his politics moved decisively towards the right.
