EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Conseils, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis, by Pierre Louys, pub. 1922 (pochoir print) captures the essence of eroticism and sensuality in a mesmerizing display of artistry. Created by Georges Barbier, this exquisite piece takes us back to ancient Greece, where forbidden desires intertwine with the allure of the female form. In this scene, a woman delicately plucks an apple while butterflies flutter around her. The symbolism is rich: the apple representing the forbidden fruit and the butterflies symbolizing transformation and freedom. Two lovers stand near a Greek temple, their bodies entwined in an intimate embrace that defies societal norms. Barbier's art deco style shines through in every detail – from the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the elegant lines that define their figures. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication as it transports us to a world where passion knows no boundaries. This print not only celebrates female beauty but also explores themes of lesbian desire and homosexuality within antiquity. It challenges conventional notions of love and sexuality while paying homage to French culture and artistic movements. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that art has always been a powerful medium for expressing our deepest desires and breaking free from societal constraints.
