"Exploring the 20th Century: From Babar's ABC to Fascist Justice and Beyond" Step into the vibrant world of the 20th century, where art, politics, and everyday life intertwine. The journey begins with Babar's enchanting illustrations in the "ABC of Babar O, S, M, H, C" from 1939. These whimsical images capture the imagination and transport us back to a time when innocence prevailed. But not all was childlike wonder during this era. Witness the marble bas-relief titled "Fascist justice: 'Justice sitting on the trunk of the Tree of Good and Evil'" adorning Milan's Palace of Justice in Italy since 1936. This powerful artwork serves as a stark reminder of an oppressive regime that ruled with an iron fist. In contrast to such somber themes is Don Quixote himself appearing in an advertisement for Globeol around 1916. This illustration showcases how even literary characters were used to promote products during this period—a testament to advertising's growing influence. Venture further into travel posters like "Excursions to the islands of Atlantic Ocean - Noirmoutier, " which beckon adventurous souls seeking new horizons at the turn of the century. These captivating visuals invite us to explore distant lands and embrace wanderlust. The political landscape also comes alive through thought-provoking illustrations like "National Assembly: demonstration by deputies against tax on parliamentary allowances" from 1933. Here we witness politicians fighting for their rights amidst a backdrop of societal change—an emblematic scene reflecting shifting power dynamics. Lucien Laforge's drawing titled "Z as Zebre (with child)" adds a touch of playfulness while showcasing artistic talent from around 1910—highlighting how creativity thrived even amid tumultuous times. Artistic expression takes various forms throughout history; one such example is seen in "The Toilet, " painted in 1926.
