EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning cover design for "L'Homme et Son Desir" by Paul Claudel, created in 1917. The artwork, a vibrant colour lithograph, was crafted by Audrey Parr (1892-1940) and is now part of a private collection. The cover design was originally intended for a ballet collaboration between Claudel, Darius Milhaud, and Audrey Parr herself. This artistic trio worked together to bring this mesmerizing performance to life. While Claudel provided the choreography and Milhaud composed the music, it was Parr who lent her creative genius to create the costumes and scenery that adorned the stage. Audrey Parr's drawings and cut-outs were skillfully incorporated into this score's cover design. It beautifully captures the essence of modernism with its intricate details and innovative approach. It is worth noting that Paul Claudel served as French Minister to Brazil during 1917 when this collaboration took place. Furthermore, Darius Milhaud acted as his secretary at that time. Audrey Parr (nee Bapst), on the other hand, was married to a British diplomat stationed in Rio de Janeiro. The ballet itself premiered in Paris in 1921 under the name Ballet Suedois. This remarkable piece of artistry continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and profound expression of dance through collaboration between these talented individuals.
