Monseigneur Nectar : Maquette. 1931. Charles Loupot.
46 ¼ x 61 ½ in./117.6 x 156.2 cm
A signed gouache-and-ink maquette for an extremely rare brand: Loupot takes a Cubist spin upon the common trope of “the grand nobleman with his bottle.” Despite his voluminous coats and the beautiful rosé color in the glass, Monseigneur Nectar has vanished from our world.
Available at auction February 25, 2018.

Théophile Roederer & Co./Champagne. 1897. Louis-Theophile Hingre.
24 ¾ x 50 5/8 in./63 x 128.5 cm
For one of the most beloved Champagne houses in France, Hingre fuses the motifs of Mucha with the poses of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and produces a work that perfectly balances lightness, strength, structure and opulence. It’s a rather fine translation of the Champagne itself into visual form. Hingre wasn’t just a graphic artist; he also worked in metal sculpture, and the sculpted guard across the woman’s midriff is a small signature to that effect.

Domanda: perché il weekend dei giovani al giorno d'oggi è stare sempre a bere? Trovate soddisfacente spendere soldi e soldi in alcool? Come se non sapeste cosa fare senza… A me sembra solo patetico
Happy Fourth of July!

But since it was winter they could not use just water so they used diluted de-icing fluid.
