Beschreibung

115 loose leaves of drawings (c. 30 x 21 mm to 240 x 170 mm), the majority gouache on card, others pen and ink, pencil, crayon, chalk, and other techniques, several drawn on both sides or comprising multiple layers of card, with letters, plans, and newspaper cuttings; generally very bright, housed in plastic sleeves.A substantial collection of set-designs for the famous Liège Trocadéro theatre, 'the most Parisian of the Belgian theatres', and the last one to feature revue shows in Wallonia. The bold and vibrant drawings by Hubert Hône (1921 2000), including a set design to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the theatre's renaming to the Trocadéro, combine the styles and motifs of the heyday of theatrical cabarets with that of the sixties and seventies. Hône's striking designs, together with the costumes by Juliette Lemaire, the future manager and daughter of the owner, who from 1966 ran her own sewing workshop within the theatre, contributed decisively to the huge success enjoyed by the Trocadéro in its golden years. Loosely inserted are newspaper cuttings, with reviews and an interview relating to the Liège Trocadéro and high praise for the works of Hône. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers G576
