Robert Décremps, alias DÉRO (1920-2000)
Cartoon by Georges Carpentier
India ink on paper, signed and captioned
50 x 39 cm
Original illustration for Pierre Cangioni's "La Fabuleuse Histoire de la Boxe" (1977). All the purity and candor of "L'Homme à l'Orchidée" is illustrated here. Georges Carpentier (1894-1975) was for many years the standard-bearer of French sport. With one stroke, one breath, Déro brings us the man who was France's first world champion (light-heavyweight in 1920), who made Dempsey tremble (1921) and who was a war hero and film actor.
