The fragrance was launched in 1947 shortly after Dior’s “New Look” collection was showcased. The Miss Dior fragrance was Dior’s first perfume. The advertisement print was created by Rene Gruau, a highly collectible French illustrator who is recognized internationally for his highly stylized fashion illustration and advertising art. The print is signed by Gruau with his iconic signature initial. This print is a prime example of the French propensity for style and flair in mid-century advertising art. It was originally published in a 1985 French periodical. It is NOT a recent reproduction print. The creative friendship between Christian Dior and the illustrator Rene Gruau was a collaboration which celebrated a special spirit which continued for many years, even after Dior’s death in 1957. Gruau’s breathtaking use of bold color and strong graphic lines enhances the allure of Dior’s fragrance. This image captures the essence of an iconic fragrance as well as the spirit of a creative chic genius. Dior advertisement prints by Rene Gruau are highly collectible and have become increasingly more difficult to find with the passage of time. 9 x 12.25 inches in size. Excellent clean condition. Perfect for a bathroom decor or dressing room. Will come matted in a neutral tone 16 x 20 inch mat ready for a standard size frame. Please allow time for matting. less
