"Although mostly known as a master of subtle colour shadings,
Orazi could also surprise us with an entirely atypical design like
this one for a play whose theme required a classicist approach. The
description of this poster in the 1896 Reims catalogue indicates that
the "Byzantine mosaic decor" is by Orazi and the design
is by Auguste Francois Gouruet (1862-1927), Maindron declared this
important work 'une affiche parfaite' and Sagot, in his 1891 catalogue,
said it exhibits a 'Tres belle composition.' It may well be the first
poster ever done for Sarah Bernhardt." (Rennert,
PAI-XXVII, 541) |
