Original 1970s edition of René Gruau’s celebrated design Le Rouge Baiser. First created in 1950 for the French cosmetics brand, the image has become one of Gruau’s most enduring works, with its striking silhouette of a woman in a red headscarf and bold lipstick. This later printing was produced in offset lithography at a smaller format (17.5 × 22 in) and has been professionally mounted on linen for preservation and display.
This example is in Excellent “A” condition, with rich color and well-preserved surfaces.
