Très Parisien, 1925, No. 11, Pl. 5: Création de PANGON - GLYCINE ROSE 1925

This is a plate from Très Parisien, 1925, by G-P. Joumard, a delicious concoction of ink and pochoir. It's all about the push and pull of process, you know? How do you arrive at a picture, step by step? Look at the way the rose color seeps into the brown, like a half-remembered dream. The texture is smooth, almost silken, yet those crisp lines suggest a decisive hand at work. Focus on the long pink tail of fabric, cascading from the figure's heel. It's a simple shape, but it anchors the composition, providing a playful contrast to the overall formality. Joumard reminds me a bit of Erté, but with a touch more, I don't know, restraint? Like they're whispering secrets instead of shouting them. Anyway, it's a reminder that art's not about having all the answers, but about asking the right questions, you know?
