A Lido Reflection
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating caricature by Tony Wysard depicting an elegant gathering at the famed Venice Lido during the roaring twenties. The image captures the essence of glamour and high society, as renowned hostess Elsa Maxwell plays center stage, surrounded by an intriguing assembly of personalities. To Elsa Maxwell's left, we find Serge Lifar, the celebrated Russian ballet dancer, whose magnetic presence and artistic talent captivated audiences worldwide. Next to him is Miss Elsa Maxwell herself, the witty and vivacious hostess, known for her impeccable taste and ability to bring together the most fascinating individuals of her time. Lady Abdy, a British socialite, graces the scene with her poise and sophistication, while the Baroness d'Erlanger and her daughter, Princess Jean de Faucigny-Lucinge, add an air of European nobility. The group is completed by the enigmatic figure of Baba de Yagas, a well-known society figure, whose presence only adds to the intrigue of this remarkable gathering. This evocative caricature, created in 1930, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Venice's Lido, where society's elite came together to revel in the magic of the Italian Riviera. The playful and exaggerated style of Tony Wysard's artistry perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the era, making "A Lido Reflection" a must-have for any collection of vintage society images.
