EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the National Colonial Exhibition held in Marseille in 1922. Painted by David Dellepiane, this oil on canvas artwork showcases a vibrant display of cultural diversity and colonialism during that era. The image features a young girl dressed in traditional costumes from various colonies such as the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and India. Each outfit represents the rich heritage and unique customs of these regions. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his skillful use of color and paint, bringing life to each garment. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes apparent that it serves as both an artistic expression and a reflection of French colonial influence at the time. The exhibition aimed to showcase France's dominion over its colonies while also celebrating their distinct cultures. Through this portrait, we are transported back to early 20th-century Marseille where visitors would have marveled at these displays representing far-off lands. It offers us a glimpse into an era when colonialism was prevalent but also highlights the beauty found within different cultures. Displayed at Musee de la Marine in Marseille today, this painting continues to be admired for its ability to evoke curiosity about our shared history and spark conversations about cultural identity and representation.
