EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking artwork captured in a colour lithograph by Laurent Detouche. This mesmerizing piece, now part of a private collection, was originally featured in the Bilder-Lexicon Kulturgeschichte published in Vienna and Leipzig in 1928. The image portrays an exquisitely sculpted statue of a woman seated at a desk. The artist's attention to detail brings her to life, as she appears almost human with her delicate features and flowing dress. The vibrant colours add depth and richness to the scene, enhancing its allure. This artwork evokes various emotions and themes from different periods of history. It reflects the sensuality and lust associated with the seven deadly sins prevalent during the 18th century. The nudity depicted symbolizes both vulnerability and freedom while challenging societal norms. The presence of a man standing nearby adds intrigue to the composition, hinting at themes of desire or inspiration. A wig worn by one figure suggests that this scene may be set during an earlier period when such fashion was popular. Detouche's lithograph invites viewers into a dreamlike world where sculpture meets reality. It explores our perception of touch, feeling, and sensory experiences through art. Overall, "As if She Was Alive" captivates with its beauty while encouraging contemplation on culture, history, sexuality, and artistic expression across centuries.
