Très Parisien, 1925, No. 9, Pl. 2: Création Jean MAGNIN Création LUCILLE. - PALACE 1925

This print, Très Parisien, made by G-P. Joumard in 1925, it's like a fashion plate, right? I can imagine the artist at work, carefully laying down each line, each block of colour, building up the image bit by bit. There is a limited palette, mostly neutrals with a touch of pink for the lips and cheeks, focusing our attention on the textures and shapes of the garments. It's interesting how the artist used line to define form and create a sense of depth, like the folds of the fabric, the curve of a shoulder. I can't help but think about all the different ways artists have used line to capture the world around them. It's like we're all in conversation, each of us adding our voice to this ongoing exploration of what it means to see and to create. For me, painting is about embracing the unknown, trusting my intuition, and allowing the work to evolve in unexpected ways. Just like this print, I think the artist let the painting speak.
