EDITORS COMMENTS
La Lettre, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis, by Pierre Louys, pub. 1922 (pochoir print) captures the essence of eroticism and sensuality in a mesmerizing art deco masterpiece. Created by the talented Georges Barbier, this stunning piece is a testament to his skill as an illustrator. The image portrays a masked female figure with captivating blue eyes and crimped hair reminiscent of ancient Greece. Holding pan pipes to her lips, she exudes an air of mystery and allure. The composition beautifully combines elements of antiquity with the modern art movement of the time. Barbier's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing forth a sense of elegance and sophistication that defined French culture during this period. The woman's expression hints at forbidden desires and hidden passions, making it clear that there is more than meets the eye. This artwork explores themes of homosexuality and lesbianism discreetly yet powerfully. It celebrates love between women while also acknowledging societal taboos surrounding such relationships. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to an era where art pushed boundaries and challenged norms. It serves as a reminder that even within strict social constraints, love will always find its way. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exceptional work for us to appreciate today—a true gem from France's artistic heritage.
