This fashion plate, *Très Parisien*, No. 8, was printed in 1927. I can imagine the artist carefully applying the flat, pale pinks, blues, and greens to the figures and the simple background. What was the artist thinking as they captured the essence of Parisian style? There's something so charming about the way the colors interact. The pastel shades create a sense of elegance and modernity, a very specific time. I feel the artist’s hand in the way they made the women’s dresses; it is almost as if you can see them working, layering each shade to create the perfect image of contemporary chic. The women here are leaning into the spirit of the times. I’d like to think that artists across different media find inspiration in each other’s work. This print may have been a source of ideas for painters, sculptors, or even filmmakers. It’s like one big creative conversation, echoing through time.
