EDITORS COMMENTS
A Question of the Nude: A Peek into the Backstage World of Parisian Showgirls in the Roaring Twenties This illustration hails from the October 1928 issue of Paris Plaisirs, a popular French weekly magazine known for its satirical and humorous content. The image, titled "A Question du nu!" (A Question of the Nude), showcases a lively and whimsical scene backstage at a jazz age cabaret. The illustration, created in the Art Deco style, is a testament to the era's fascination with the nude figure and the allure of the Parisian nightlife scene. A group of showgirls, dressed in various states of undress, are gathered around a mirror, examining their costumes and applying makeup. The scene is filled with a sense of camaraderie and playfulness, as the women laugh and joke with one another. In the foreground, a dapper stagehand holds up a sign bearing the question "Du nu?" (Is it nude?), adding a touch of humor and intrigue to the scene. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate patterns typical of the Art Deco style further emphasizes the glamour and excitement of the Parisian cabaret scene during the 1920s. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Parisian showgirls during the Jazz Age, a time of artistic and cultural innovation, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the nude figure in art and popular culture.
