EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Farewell" transports us back to the glamorous world of high society in the 1920s. Engraved by Henri Reidel in 1920, this print captures a moment of elegance and sophistication that defined the era. The scene is set at a grand soiree, where guests are dressed in exquisite flapper dresses and tuxedos. The ballroom is adorned with art deco details, reflecting the prevailing aesthetic of the time. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the lively music playing as couples dance gracefully across the floor. In the foreground stands a luxurious car, symbolizing wealth and opulence. A chauffeur patiently waits for his passengers to bid their farewells before departing into the night. This juxtaposition between extravagance and departure adds an air of mystery to the scene. "Farewell" not only captures a specific moment but also encapsulates an entire lifestyle – one characterized by soirées filled with laughter, dancing, and endless revelry. It offers us a glimpse into an exclusive world known as vie mondaine or high society life. As we admire this stunning lithograph from Barbier's Private Collection within The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different times and places. It evokes nostalgia for an era that was defined by its elegance and joie de vivre – an evening eternally frozen in time through this remarkable piece of artwork captured
