Très Parisien, 1923, No. 4: MÉPHISTO 1923

This is "Très Parisien, 1923, No. 4: MÉPHISTO," made by an anonymous artist. I am thinking about the way in which this artist has put the colours down. There are dark hues of purples and browns. The strokes make up the dress the figure is wearing. What if they were feeling blue? It makes me wonder what the artist was thinking when they made this. Did they spend hours trying to get the shade of the dress just right, or did they just go with the flow? It makes me think about other figurative painters and how they use color to create mood and meaning. It’s like the artist is having a conversation with us, inviting us to see the world through their eyes. And that's the beauty of painting, isn't it?
