"Colin's use of a 'triple exposure' – three virtual snapshots of an elegant couple making their way around a packed dance floor, layered one on top of another and drawn from three different points of view – creates a wonderful, sweeping sense of stop-motion sequencing to promote a 1927 springtime 'floral ball' held to benefit French orphans" (Crouse/Deco, p. 156).
This is a great example of Paul Colin’s Art Deco skills, executed with complementary diagonals, inviting, soft pastels, and a sense of pure smoking pleasure” (Crouse/Deco, p. 220).
