This lithograph, titled "Art - Goût - Beauté," was created by R. Drivon and published in November 1928 as part of "Feuillets de l'élégance féminine." It features a composition that brings together three fashionably dressed women. Drivon’s work is characterized by its elegant lines and soft color palette, which immediately draw the viewer into the refined aesthetic of the late 1920s. The lithograph uses a structural arrangement where each figure represents a distinct style, yet they are harmonized through the consistent use of line and form. This formal approach not only showcases fashion, but also plays with the semiotic representation of women's roles and societal expectations. The women are slender and posed, reflecting a cultural fascination with modernity and liberation. Drivon's strategic use of composition and line serves to highlight the artifice of representation itself. These women are not merely models but constructed images, embodiments of the era's ideals, inviting us to reflect on how beauty and taste are mediated and interpreted.
