Small size of this famous Art Deco poster by Jean Carlu, for Pépa Bonafé a well-known Parisian comedian. In an interview in 1980 Jean Carlu said : "The Pépa Bonafé agent asked me to create a poster but I was not, like Loupot, a posterist of women. I did not feel comfortable. However, by stylizing her profile, I immediatly caught the ressemblance. Pépa Bonafé did not look her best, but she understood that this poster on walls would be excellent publicity... I combined curves and straight lines so that I could associate the mask of joy with the mask of sadness"
