EDITORS COMMENTS
The Witness, a captivating caricature of Marianne, comes to life in this vibrant photo print. Created by the talented artist Paul Iribe in 1934, this colourful lithograph showcases his unique style and attention to detail. At first glance, one cannot help but notice the striking resemblance between Marianne and Coco Chanel. It is no surprise considering that Iribe was not only an accomplished artist but also Chanel's husband. This intriguing connection adds another layer of depth to the artwork. Marianne, often seen as the personification of France herself, is depicted wearing a traditional bonnet adorned with a rosette. Her profile stands out against a bold background, drawing our eyes towards her expressive face. The iconic Phrygian cap she wears further symbolizes liberty and revolution. This image originally appeared in Parlons Francais magazine on July 1st, 1934. Its publication would have undoubtedly sparked conversations and debates among readers at the time. Now preserved in a private collection and made available through eArchives Charmet, this print allows us to appreciate Iribe's artistic genius and his ability to capture both beauty and political symbolism within his work. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by French history and culture, 'The Witness' offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century art.
