"Eugenie Buffet was a Parisian song stylist…who was quite popular in
the intimate cabaret, preferring to forsake glamour and elaborate stage effects
in favour of singing about common subjects in down-to-earth 'realistic' style…(the
artist) puts her on an ordinary Paris street in the clothes of a Paris working
girl, the persona she projected in her performances"
(Gold
p.118, 120) Stevens uses a decidedly soft painterly technique for his poster
for the people's songstress, portraying her as a working girl selling one of the
many popular publications on a Paris street, while being serenaded by a robust
guitar player in the background. |
