Très Parisien, 1925, No. 6, Pl. 13- LES PAPILLONS 1925

This is "Très Parisien, 1925, No. 6, Pl. 13 - LES PAPILLONS" by G-P. Joumard, a print in the Rijksmuseum. It's a fashion plate, and the marks are clean and graphic. I love how the artist uses the flat color and crisp lines to convey texture and form. The dress is so interesting; a checkerboard of black and white squares, each filled with tiny floral patterns. Look closely, and you'll see how the artist uses a simple palette of black, white, and pale pink to create a sophisticated and modern look. The dress is adorned with ribbons and a delicate organza trimming, adding a touch of luxury. The roses give off a 'whimsical' feel; they contrast with the dark and bold dress. This work reminds me of other artists who were exploring the intersection of art, fashion, and design in the early 20th century, like Sonia Delaunay. It’s like they’re all in conversation, riffing off each other's ideas and pushing the boundaries of what art could be. I love that!
