Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui, 1922, Pl. 10 : L'Attentat 1922 - 1923

"L'Attentat" (The Attack) is a woodcut print by Fernand Siméon, created in 1922-1923. It is one of a series of prints called "Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui" (Fashions and Manners of Today), which aimed to capture the social and political climate of the time. Siméon's bold, graphic style, characterized by strong lines and geometric forms, contrasts the elegance of the woman with the violence of the scene, creating a striking visual commentary on the anxieties of the post-war era.
