EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front cover of Le Sourire magazine, dated 30th March 1901. Created by the talented artist Fernand Fau, this illustration epitomizes the essence of this light-hearted Parisian publication. Le Sourire was renowned for its cheeky and risqué drawings of partially clad mademoiselles, accompanied by amusing stories and jokes. In this vibrant image, we are transported to a room adorned with tiled floors where a female maid stands in a metaphorical face-to-face encounter with nakedness. The woman's occupation as a maid grants her privileged access to an intimate space - the bathroom. This scene captures both the vulnerability and power associated with nudity. The artwork is rendered in exquisite detail through engraving techniques, showcasing Fau's mastery over his craft. The color palette chosen adds depth and richness to every element within the composition. As we delve into this snapshot from early 20th-century Parisian culture, it becomes evident that Le Sourire played a significant role in pushing societal boundaries during that era. It challenged conventional norms surrounding women's roles while simultaneously providing entertainment for its readership. This print serves as a testament to Fernand Fau's artistic prowess and offers us an intriguing glimpse into an era defined by changing attitudes towards femininity, sexuality, and freedom of expression.
