The Angel of Sodom - Christian Berard Framed Canvas

Christian Bérard (1902–1949) was the French artist who made the stage shimmer and fashion sketchbooks sing. Known to intimates as “Bebè,” he trained at the Académie Ranson, his brush steeped in Vuillard and Denis, before bursting onto Paris’s gallery scene in 1925. A restless collaborator, he lent his eye to Jean-Michel Frank’s interiors, Coco Chanel’s silhouettes, and Vogue’s pages. With Boris Kochno, his partner in life and theater, Bérard helped shape the flamboyance of French stagecraft, most famously through his dreamlike designs for Jean Cocteau’s La Belle et la Bête (1946). His sudden death onstage in 1949 only amplified his legend—immortalized by Poulenc’s Stabat Mater and Cocteau’s Orphée.
