EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir print, titled "La Riviere de la Foret" is an exquisite illustration from the renowned book Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louys. Published in 1922, this piece of art showcases the distinct style and elegance of the Art Deco movement. The image transports us to ancient Greece, where a sensuous scene unfolds on a riverbank. A woman, beautifully depicted in her nakedness, stands gracefully amidst lush trees and flowing water. Her bare nipples peek through a delicate sarong-like cloth that drapes over her body with effortless allure. George Barbier's masterful brushstrokes bring this moment to life as he captures every detail with precision and finesse. The composition exudes an air of eroticism and femininity while celebrating the beauty of nature. With its botanical elements and references to natural history, this artwork seamlessly combines science and artistry. It not only serves as a visual delight but also reflects the cultural significance of ancient Greek society. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "La Riviere de la Foret" subtly explores themes of lesbianism and homosexuality prevalent during that era. Through his skillful portrayal, Barbier challenges societal norms while embracing diversity and individuality. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical context within French culture.
