Jean Cocteau was his great admirer «Vous êtes un nom fulgurant sur un mur.»
Despite his exclusive relationship with Mistinguett, Gesmar produced posters for many other stars such as Spinelly, Marnac, E. Leslie, Raimu, Barbette, Falconetti, Pierly, St. Granier, Popesco etc.
In Gesmar's tragically short life he became Mistinguett's personal artist, doing many posters for her. Being Gesmar's muse he created many costumes, stage designs and portraits of Mistinguett over a period of 10 years.

My one of a kind hand painted wooden handbag is made from solid wood. It is lined with black cotton fabric and has a long across the body gold metal chain that can be removed, you want to use the bag as a clutch.
It is approximately 20 cm in length and 12 cm in width.
I have hand painted the bag with acrylic paints in gold, black, white and red. Swaroski adorn crystals the head piece of the exotic dancer. It the artwork had been sealed with several coats of clear varnish. The back of the bag is plain wood.
It is the perfect statement piece for the lady that wants something unique and different to compliment her evening attire.
This bag may be purchased for the amount of $120.00 AUD here
