Marcel Marceau (1923-2007) A French-Jewish pantomime artist, one of the most popular in the world of pantomime art. During the Holocaust, he and his brother joined the anti-Nazi Jewish-French underground, the “OJC”. In 1947, Marceau created the character “Bip”, in a striped sweater and a battered silk cylinder adorned with a flower – a sign of the fragility of life – that his “alter ego” had, just as Chaplin’s “little hobo” was the star’s personality.
Same size: 18×12 cm. Very good condition. Attached is a newspaper clipping about Marceau.
