It is an offering that features classic Art Deco imagery of elongated lines of highly stylized designs. The designs are illustrated and signed by Leon Benigni who worked in Paris during the Art Deco years. These prints are done in a deep rich gold metallic ink which had limited use during the 1920-30s. These inks were used specifically in fashion and costume designs. The process was labor intensive and costly, making them RARE and thus, difficult to find, especially in a set of 3 images. The Art Deco styling and shapes of Benigni's work reflect the use of rich colors and luxurious, sumptuous materials. They reflect an optimism and prosperity that was abound during the time. These 3 images are exquisite, dynamic, and so CHIC. Zoom in to see the intricacies and delicacies of the work. The gold ink is even more exquisite in real life. Note the setting with the palm trees of the Mediterranean coast. We absolutely guarantee their true beauty! They are each in pristine condition. Perfect for the Art Deco connoisseur or vintage fashion collector. Each measures 4.75 x 9.5 inches and each comes in a white 16 x 20 inch custom mat, ready for a standard size frame. You are purchasing 3 matted prints. less
