Très Parisien, 1923, No 9: 6. - BRUME DU MATIN. - Elégante et souple... 1923

This print from 1923, titled 'Très Parisien', appears to have been made as a fashion plate. It’s anonymous, which is interesting; it invites a focus on the work itself, not the cult of personality. I'm drawn to how the anonymous artist uses line to construct these figures. The sinuous, flowing lines of the garment on the left create a sense of movement, while the grid-like pattern on the right offers a more structured, almost architectural feel. The colour palette is restrained, with muted tones that evoke a sense of early morning light, fitting the title 'Morning Mist'. Look at the way the artist renders the details of the clothing; the delicate fringes, the bold geometric shapes, and the subtle shading. It's not just about depicting fashion, but about creating a mood, a feeling, a certain je ne sais quoi that captures the spirit of the time. It reminds me a little of Sonia Delaunay’s textile designs, that same playful approach to geometric abstraction. It's a conversation across time, a playful exchange of ideas.
