José NIRVASSED
Partition piano "Tango Blanco"
Imprimerie Georges Frère|Tourcoing s. d. [ca 1923]|26.80 x 33.60 cm|une feuille rempliée
First edition of this piano score illustrated on the first cover with a color drawing by an anonymous artist. Tribute to Louis Reynaud, inventor of a whitening product for laundry...
Central fold without consequence, otherwise handsome copy.
The cover reproduces the essentializing imagery of blacks, derived from colonialist stereotypes but also inspired by the recent discovery of the African population after the requisition of sub-Saharan contingents for the 1914 war. These images convey a stigmatizing and terribly racist vision towards Africans but paradoxically betray a beginning of acceptance of difference and a gaze that aims to be affectionate though paternalistic towards blackness.
Very handsome copy of this original score, of great graphic quality despite its racist theme.
