Très Parisien, 1925, No 9, Pl. 5.- AMANDIER 1925

This little print, "Très Parisien, 1925, No 9, Pl. 5.- AMANDIER," by G-P. Joumard, in the Rijksmuseum, feels like a whisper from another time. I can just imagine Joumard, hunched over a table, delicately applying each line and color to capture the essence of Parisian chic. It's like an early fashion blog post. Look at the colours, a soft, muted palette—greens, reds, and blues. The dresses, with their geometric shapes and playful pleats, seem to dance across the page. Those blocky strokes and the texture of the print, you can almost feel it. It’s not just about fashion; it’s about capturing a moment, a mood, a whole cultural vibe. I bet Joumard was thinking about the modern woman, her confidence, her sense of style. It reminds me of Sonia Delaunay's textile designs. It makes me want to grab a brush, mix some colors, and start painting, riffing off Joumard’s vision, adding my own layer to this ongoing conversation.
