RAYMOND DEVOS
Playing the clarinet during his show "Les Pupitres" at the Théâtre Fontaine in Paris, 1961. Photograph, vintage silver print, captioned, stamped, and annotated on the back. 18 x 24 cm, including white margins on the sides;
Note: This photograph, taken in 1961, shows Raymond Devos playing the clarinet during his show *Les Pupitres*, presented at the Théâtre Fontaine in Paris. Before becoming one of the most famous comedians on the French-speaking stage, Devos was also an accomplished musician, trained in piano and music, whose sense of rhythm and improvisation would have a lasting influence on his art of language. In his shows, music often plays an essential role, interacting with his wordplay, paradoxes, and poetic universe. This vintage print highlights a sometimes overlooked facet of the artist and illustrates the unique blend of humor, music, and performance that helped make Raymond Devos one of the leading figures in 20th-century French entertainment.
