EDITORS COMMENTS
Félicien Rops' captivating print, titled "Bourgeoisie," dates back to the 1870s, making it a significant representation of the 19th century's social and artistic landscape. This monochromatic masterpiece, created by the renowned Belgian artist, showcases a woman of the middle class, dressed in semi-formal attire, with her bare chest exposed. The image challenges the societal norms of the time, where modesty and decorum were highly valued. Rops, a Flemish artist from Belgium, expertly utilized the drypoint technique to create intricate lines and textures, adding depth and dimension to the print. The use of black and white further emphasizes the contrast between the woman's semi-naked upper body and her fully clothed lower half, highlighting the paradoxical nature of the bourgeoisie class. This thought-provoking artwork is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its historical significance and cultural importance. The image invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of social class, gender, and the human condition during the 19th century. The Bourgeoisie print by Félicien Rops serves as a testament to the power of art to challenge societal norms and provoke thought and conversation.
