EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pochoir print by Georges Barbier that transports viewers to the glamorous world of early 20th-century France. This exquisite artwork, part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties with its elegant style and intricate details. In this scene, we witness an enchanting garden setting illuminated by moonlight. A man kneels before a woman who stands beside an ornate urn, symbolizing wealth and materialism. With his pleading expression and outstretched arms, he proposes his love to her in a display of courtship. The female figure exudes both beauty and aloofness as she gazes down at him wearing an alluring evening dress. Her petulant demeanor suggests rejection or disinterest towards his advances. Meanwhile, other lovers can be seen in the background engaged in their own amorous pursuits. Barbier's masterful illustration skillfully captures themes of greed and jealousy within society during this era. Through delicate brushwork and vibrant colors, he creates a sense of mystery and intrigue that draws us into this nocturnal world. "L'Avarice" serves as a timeless reminder that love can sometimes be overshadowed by desires for material gain or social status. It invites us to reflect on our own relationships while marveling at Barbier's ability to capture complex emotions through artistry.
