EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Bijoux, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis, by Pierre Louys, pub. 1922 (pochoir print) captures the essence of eroticism and sensuality in a mesmerizing art deco style. Created by Georges Barbier, this piece showcases the delicate beauty of feminine hands adorned with painted nails and bracelets. The image transports us to ancient Greece, where a deer gracefully rests against the arm of a woman. The bangles on her wrist shimmer as she delicately holds a dish filled with pearls and jewels. With suggestive elements like an exposed nipple and lesbian undertones, it explores themes of love and desire. Barbier's mastery lies in his ability to blend antiquity with modernity seamlessly. The intricate details on the hand reflect his expertise as an illustrator during the art deco movement. Each stroke brings life to this enchanting scene. This artwork not only celebrates female beauty but also challenges societal norms surrounding homosexuality. It serves as a testament to France's rich artistic heritage while pushing boundaries within its cultural context. As we gaze upon this print from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded that art has always been at the forefront of challenging conventions and exploring diverse expressions of human emotion.
