Art - Goût - Beauté, Feuillets de l' élégance féminine, Mai 1931, No. 129, 11e Année, p. 20 1931

This page from a 1931 edition of ‘Art – Goût – Beauté’ magazine, likely made with printmaking techniques, is a document of its time, offering us a glimpse into the era's ideals of beauty and fashion. Imagine being the artist tasked with creating these images! It's more than just rendering what you see, it’s about capturing a mood, an attitude, and even a sense of aspiration. The elegant women, with their confident poses and refined attire, feel suspended in a dreamlike state. I see a relationship between the design of the clothes and the design of the page: the palette, the composition, the clean lines and repeated shapes. What is the link between fashion and art? How is design about a conversation, in this case, between the artist, designer, and the women who would buy the clothes? And then how does the viewer become part of this conversation as they admire the image?
