    The »Bal Nègre« (now »La Bal Blomet«) was a legendary Caribbean dance cabaret and jazz club founded in Paris in the 1920s, the »Années folles«, in the Rue Blomet. Since then, it has never lost its aura of one of the infamous spots on the Parisian art and culture scene.

    The print was made in 2012 on the occasion of Erwitt's personale »Paris Sera Toujours Paris« at the Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo. The show, whose title quotes a chanson by Maurice Chevalier, drew an essence of Erwitt's best shots from the Seine metropolis.
    It was here that he had been born to Russian-Jewish parents. At the age of 11, Erwitt had to immigrate to the USA, where he began taking photographs and became a full member of Magnum in 1953. Among the distinguished representatives of humanistic photojournalism, he stands out especially for his humour.
