EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vrai Cake Walk au Nouveau Cirque, c. 1901-1902" takes us back to the vibrant world of early 20th-century France. Created by the talented artist Francois Laskowski (also known as Franz Laskoff), this fine art image captures a moment of joy and rhythm in the form of a dance. The poster showcases an exquisite example of Art Nouveau style, with its intricate details and flowing lines that epitomize the era's fascination with nature and elegance. The use of color lithography brings out the vivacity and energy of the scene, making it come alive before our eyes. In this private collection piece, we witness a group of dancers engaging in a popular social dance called "Cake Walk". Originating from African American communities in America during the late 19th century, this lively dance was characterized by its syncopated ragtime music and distinctive walking steps. As we gaze at this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a time when people gathered at circuses like Le Nouveau Cirque to be entertained by both daring acrobats and spirited dances. The chalk line walk on which these performers showcase their skills adds an element of suspense and precision to their movements. Francois Laskowski skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind these dancers' performances. This print serves as a testament to his artistic talent while offering us a glimpse into an era filled with cultural exchange
