TEINTURERIE DU POINT NOIR. 1934. 55x391/4 inches. Joseph-Charles, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tear in bottom margin; vertical and horizontal folds; creases in image. For this fabric dye company Dupin portrays a study in opposites: an elegant lady from romantic days-gone-by is depicted in monochrome with a stylized, modernistic counterpart depicted in a rainbow of colors. The name of the company is somewhat incongruous with the company's product, but Dupin cleverly integrates the black dot of the company's logo with the image, via a swatch of black, out of which the two figures are emerging.
