Très Parisien, 1928, No. 2 : 11.- PROMENEUSES.- Deux pièces en jersey (...) 1928

This fashion plate, "Très Parisien, 1928, No. 2," probably made using stencils, lithography or pochoir, depicts three women. The artist, anonymous, was exploring design and aspiration, maybe thinking about how colour can evoke both mood and desire. Look closely, and you’ll notice how the geometric patterns create a sense of movement and texture, almost like optical illusions, and consider the delicate balance of warm and cool colours. What was it like for the artist to consider such precise and methodical work? It makes me think about other artists, like Sonia Delaunay, who also blurred the lines between art and design, using bold colours and geometric shapes to create dynamic compositions. It makes me think about how artists are in ongoing dialogue, inspiring one another to push the boundaries of their chosen medium. Ultimately, this print invites us to embrace ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings to emerge over time. Just like a good painting should.
