This fashion plate, "Très Parisien" from 1923, is an anonymous artwork, a kind of blueprint for a mood, a vibe, captured on paper. I love how the artist used thin lines and flat colors to create the image of a woman wearing a dress, it's almost like a coloring book illustration, but with a sophisticated twist. The dress has these squiggly, decorative patterns at the bottom which adds this unexpected, playful touch. And that pop of red on her wrist and waist, those details, are really what makes the piece sing. Looking at this artwork, it makes me think of other artists who were experimenting with similar ideas like Sonia Delaunay. In both cases, there's this understanding that art isn't about one right answer but rather a conversation across time.
