Très Parisien, 1925, No. 6, Pl. 18.- PETIT LEVER 1925

G-P. Joumard created this print titled "Très Parisien, 1925, No. 6, Pl. 18.- PETIT LEVER" in 1925. It presents a scene of two women in fashionable attire, defined by a delicate balance of line, color, and form. The composition is structured around the interplay of vertical and horizontal elements: the verticality of the figures is juxtaposed with the horizontal lines of the text and framing. Joumard employs a muted color palette, allowing the textures of the clothing to stand out. The use of line is particularly striking, creating a sense of depth and movement within the otherwise flat picture plane. Consider the semiotic system at play: fashion functions here as a signifier of social status and modernity. Joumard challenges fixed meanings, inviting us to engage with new ways of thinking about representation and identity in the context of 1920s Paris. Notice how the formal qualities of line and color work together to create a visual language that speaks to the cultural values and artistic sensibilities of its time.
