"Cheveux: A Journey Through Hair in Art and Literature" Step into the world of "cheveux, " where education meets beauty. From morning wash rituals to postcard inspirations, this captivating collection explores the significance of hair throughout history. Intriguingly, a girl with a brush takes center stage on a postcard inspired by Beatrice Mallet, an influential French artist from the early 20th century. Her artwork beautifully captures the essence of hair as it flows and dances with each stroke. Delving further back in time, we encounter Ms Hunter's depiction of two women fighting on vellum. This illustration hails from Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, dating all the way back to 1462. Even then, hairstyles were used as expressions of power and identity. Moving forward to 1914, we discover "Des cheveux noirs, " a mesmerizing piece created using charcoal, colored crayon, and gouache on paper. The artist masterfully portrays dark tresses that seem to possess an enigmatic allure. The theme continues with a woman drying her hair in c. 1890-95 captured through delicate charcoal strokes on paper. This intimate moment showcases the timeless act of self-care and attention given to one's locks. A stunning portrait emerges next—a woman wearing a ratine blouse adorned with an embroidered belt—exuding elegance and grace while proudly displaying her carefully styled hair. Amongst these depictions lies "Red Headed Woman with Roses in her Hair. " Painted meticulously onto canvas using oil colors; this masterpiece celebrates fiery red locks intertwined effortlessly with nature's blooms. But it doesn't stop there. Prepare for whimsy as we encounter a man donning a flowerpot hat paired with cherub-inspired hairstyling under his long riding coat—an eccentric blend of fashion and creativity that challenges societal norms.
