EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Marianne Crucified" is an illustration from the book "Parlons Francais" by Paul Iribe. Published in 1934, this color lithograph showcases Iribe's unique artistic style and creativity. The image features Marianne, the personification of France, crucified on a cross, symbolizing sacrifice and suffering. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is the face depicted on Marianne - none other than Coco Chanel herself. As it turns out, Paul Iribe was married to Chanel at the time of creating this piece. This adds another layer of depth and meaning to the illustration. The use of a cartoon-like style with exaggerated features gives a whimsical touch to an otherwise somber subject matter. The Phrygian cap worn by Marianne represents liberty and revolution, further emphasizing France's historical struggles for freedom. "Marianne Crucified" serves as both a political commentary and an artistic expression. It explores themes such as national identity, sacrifice for one's country, and societal expectations placed upon women during that era. This particular print captures not only Iribe's talent but also his personal connection to one of fashion history's most iconic figures. It stands as a testament to their creative partnership while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on the complex intertwining of art, politics, and personal relationships in history.
