"Toilette: A Glimpse into the Intimate Rituals of Beauty" Step into a world where beauty takes center stage, as captured by renowned artists throughout history. From Edgar Degas to Adolphe Willette, these masterpieces offer us a glimpse into the private moments of women's lives – their daily rituals at the vanity. In "Woman Combing Her Hair" by Edgar Degas (1886), we witness a delicate moment frozen in time. The woman's graceful movements and focused gaze reveal her dedication to perfecting every strand. Similarly, Willette's "Une paire d'amis" (ca 1881) showcases two friends sharing secrets while preparing themselves for the day ahead. But it is not only hair that demands attention; the body too requires care and adornment. In "Nude from behind (Morning toilet)" (1841), an anonymous artist captures a vulnerable yet empowering scene of self-care. Le Bidet becomes an essential fixture in this process, providing comfort and cleanliness. Edgar Degas returns with "Woman at her Toilette" (1889), inviting us to observe another intimate moment between subject and mirror. The actress Miss Marjorie Hume continues this tradition in the 1920s, revealing how even public figures engage in personal grooming routines. Looking back further in time, Titian's masterpiece "Venus with a Mirror" (c. 1555) reminds us that vanity has long been associated with femininity and sensuality. Meanwhile, Hogarth's satirical take on marriage customs in his painting "Marriage-Mode 4" adds humor to our exploration of personal grooming habits. The pastel medium allows for softness and subtlety when depicting these private scenes: from Woman drying herself (c. 1888-92) to Woman Combing her Hair (1905-10). These artworks capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed.
