GEORGES SIMENON, SUZY PRIM, AND PAUL COLIN - Lot 123
GEORGES SIMENON, SUZY PRIM, AND PAUL COLIN A Star Wall Hands, the French version of the Star Walk Hands in Hollywood, 1952. Photograph, vintage silver print, captioned (dated label), stamped, and annotated on the back. 14.6 x 13 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in 1952, features Georges Simenon, Suzy Prim, and Paul Colin at the inauguration of a “Star Wall Hands,” an initiative inspired by the famous Hollywood tradition of immortalizing the handprints of entertainment personalities. One of the most widely read writers of the 20th century and creator of Inspector Maigret, Simenon is seen here alongside two iconic figures of the French art world: actress Suzy Prim and Paul Colin, a leading Art Deco poster artist and set designer. This event reflects the rise of celebrity culture in postwar France and the influence of promotional models from the United States. This vintage print thus serves as a valuable record of Parisian cultural and social life in the early 1950s.
