Note:
Brunelleschi was a highly versatile artist, working as an illustrator, printer, and set and costume designer. Early in his career, he produced illustrations for French fashion publications, including 'La Vie Parisienne' and the 'Gazette du Bon Ton', moving on in the 1920s to design the sets and costumes for theatres in New York, Paris (including the Folies Bergère and the Casino de Paris), and La Scala in Milan. Brunelleschi's most illustrious client was probably the singer Josephine Baker (1906-1975), who performed in 'La Petite Tonkinoise'.
