EDITORS COMMENTS
La Rencontre, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis, by Pierre Louys, pub. 1922 (pochoir print) captures a moment of intimate connection and sensuality in ancient Greece. Created by the talented artist Georges Barbier during the Art Deco period, this exquisite artwork showcases two women meeting under a cherry blossom tree. Dressed in flowing long dresses reminiscent of ancient Greek attire, these female lovers are depicted with elegance and grace. One woman holds a fan while the other carries an umbrella adorned with Japanese motifs, symbolizing their shared love for art and culture. The delicate pochoir technique used to create this print adds depth and vibrancy to every detail - from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the soft petals of the cherry blossoms surrounding them. This piece not only celebrates feminine beauty but also explores themes of lesbianism and homosexuality in a time when such expressions were often hidden or taboo. It serves as a testament to both artistic freedom and personal identity. As we gaze upon "La Rencontre" we are transported back in time to an era where love knows no boundaries. This stunning representation of passion reminds us that true connections can be found across cultures, eras, and orientations.
