EDITORS COMMENTS
Attitudes are Easy and Chaste," plate two from Maurice Denis' series "Love," created in 1898 and published in 1899, is a captivating lithograph that showcases the artist's unique style and the influence of the Nabis artistic movement. The image features two young women in a park setting, engaged in a casual and playful interaction. The women are dressed in fashionable attire of the late 19th century, with one wearing a corsage and the other holding a cut flower. The use of color in this lithograph is striking, with the predominant hues of blue, brown, and green creating a serene and calming atmosphere. Denis, a French artist, masterfully employs the technique of lithotint to create a rich and textured background, while the figures are rendered in a more pastel and delicate manner. The title of the series, "Love," suggests a deeper emotional connection between the two women, yet their attitudes are portrayed as carefree and unguarded. The setting, with its lush greenery and sunlit park, further emphasizes the sense of tranquility and ease. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to Maurice Denis' skill as a post-impressionist artist and his affiliation with the Nabis artistic movement. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers over a century after its creation. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this masterpiece in its vast and diverse collection of heritage art, providing a glimpse into the artistic movements and cultural context of the late 19th century. Printed on light ivory wove paper, this lithograph in yellow, blue, brown, and pink is a must-see for any art enthusiast, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
