Très Parisien, 1925, No. 9, Supplément. ST. MORITZ 1925

This artwork, 'Très Parisien, 1925, No. 9, Supplément. ST. MORITZ,' by G-P. Joumard at the Rijksmuseum, feels like a glimpse into a very stylized world, made with paper and ink. I'm thinking about Joumard working on this piece – maybe they were interested in exploring the geometry of fashion, or how colors speak to each other. It’s like the clothes have a life of their own, set against a dreamy, ambiguous background. The colors—soft pinks, yellows, and blues—create a palette that feels both modern and classic. I’m drawn to the way the lines define the figures, almost as if Joumard is mapping out the new shapes of femininity and the emerging culture of Parisian fashion. It reminds me of Sonia Delaunay's work, especially her textile designs, where color and form collide with such joyful abandon. There is an echo of Matisse too, but I don’t know why exactly… Anyway, each artist is always in conversation with those around them. I wonder who Joumard was talking to?
