La Desir - A Sensual Depiction of Ancient Greek Love
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This pochoir print, titled "La Desir" is an exquisite illustration from the renowned collection Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louys. Created in 1922 by the talented artist Georges Barbier, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of a passionate and intimate relationship between two women in ancient Greece. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of classical antiquity, we witness these enchanting figures dressed in flowing long dresses, embracing each other tenderly. The art deco style adds an air of elegance and sophistication to their embrace, while the presence of a deer symbolizes both femininity and nature's harmony. Barbier's skillful use of color and intricate details brings forth a sense of sensuality that transcends time. This evocative piece not only celebrates love but also challenges societal norms surrounding homosexuality during its era. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes evident that Barbier masterfully intertwines history with contemporary notions of love and desire. Through his brushstrokes, he invites us to explore themes such as passion, connection, and self-expression. "La Desir" serves as an enduring testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and ignite conversations about human relationships throughout history. It stands proudly among Barbier's remarkable works within the Art Deco movement—a true gem capturing beauty beyond its time.
