EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Epigrammes dans l Ile de Chypre" is an exquisite illustration from the renowned collection of poems, "Les Chansons de Bilitis" by Pierre Louys. Published in 1922, this pochoir print beautifully captures the essence of sensuality and eroticism that permeates throughout Louys' work. The image depicts a scene reminiscent of ancient Greece, with its intricate hairstyles and references to Greek mythology. A naked woman stands gracefully amidst a lush landscape on the island of Cyprus, holding a pomegranate in her hand. The presence of a man suggests themes of desire and passion, while also alluding to the exploration of homosexuality and lesbianism within ancient Greek culture. Georges Barbier's art deco style shines through in this piece, showcasing his mastery in capturing elegance and beauty. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to the composition, enhancing the allure and mystique surrounding these characters. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where nudity was celebrated as an expression of artistic freedom. This print serves as a testament to both the artist's skillful technique and society's evolving attitudes towards sexuality. With its rich symbolism and evocative imagery, this print remains a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences today. It serves as a reminder that art has always been at the forefront when it comes to pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms.
