EDITORS COMMENTS
Tastes and Colors You Should Not Discuss," showcases the playful use of bold and contrasting colors, as well as the satirical wit of renowned French caricaturist Adolphe Willette. Dating back to circa 1901, these images offer a glimpse into the rich and often humorous world of early 20th-century art and society. The first illustration depicts a yellow gentleman, with a mischievous grin, removing the hat of a man in green, who holds a fishing rod. The lady in question, carried away by the yellow gentleman, is shown in a bright red dress, adding to the lively and dynamic color palette. Another image features a lady in a pristine white dress, walking towards a beautiful arrangement of flowers, which unfortunately, are placed in a bear trap. The unexpected juxtaposition of the elegant lady and the dangerous trap creates a sense of intrigue and amusement. A bishop in a deep violet robe is shown drinking wine on a coffin, adding a touch of the macabre to the collection. A funerary worker, dressed in black, also joins the bishop, further emphasizing the contrast between life and death. The military soldier in blue and the kingly figure in red robe complete this vibrant and whimsical series, offering a glimpse into the diverse and often ironic world of Adolphe Willette. These captivating illustrations, from the "March of the Women" collection, invite us to explore the rich tapestry of early 20th-century art and culture, while reminding us that sometimes, the most intriguing contrasts lie in the unexpected combinations of tastes and colors."
