EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of L'Assiette au Beurre, number 422, a satirical publication from 1909. Created by the talented artist Miklos Vadasz (1884-1927), this illustration delves into themes of homosexuality and lesbianism during that era. The image depicts a girl dressed in transvestite attire, adorned with exquisite jewels and an elaborate hairstyle. The engraving captures the essence of French fashion and style prevalent in the early 20th century. The inclusion of a monocle and necktie adds an air of sophistication to the subject's appearance. This artwork was featured in a journal dedicated to exploring societal norms, pressuring readers to question their own beliefs about gender roles, sexuality, and morality. Vadasz skillfully portrays both femininity and virility through his artistic interpretation. The juxtaposition between traditional feminine attributes and masculine elements challenges conventional notions surrounding identity and sexual orientation. This thought-provoking piece serves as a testament to France's progressive mindset at that time when it came to discussing taboo subjects such as homosexuality openly. It is evident that Vadasz aimed to push boundaries through his work while shedding light on marginalized communities within society. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art finder collection, we can now appreciate this historical artifact for its artistic brilliance while reflecting on how far we have come in terms of acceptance and understanding towards diverse expressions of human sexuality.
