ANDRÉ PLISSON - J. RAMONDOT (1929-2016) Fête de la lune chez les Bamilekés - Bal des Katzarts - 1953 Chromolithograph. Interleaved. Imp. Photomechanique les procédés Dorel, Paris. Signed lower right. 120x79cm (Good condition. Minor restorations top right). Bibliography: Isabelle Conte, Katzarts, Éditions AAM Bruxelles, 2023. Our poster mentioned but not reproduced on page 265. From 1892 to 1966, this was the highlight of student festivities at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. There was a theme every year: after having exhausted Antiquity, the students chose exoticism, as here with this African tribe of Bamilékés. André Plisson designed the poster with a whimsy that he lacked for the rest of his career - a rare occurrence.
