EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we see M Victor Margueritte, the renowned author of "La Garconne" a groundbreaking novel that challenged societal norms in 1920s France. With his piercing gaze and distinguished moustache, Margueritte exudes an air of intellectual brilliance and rebellious spirit. However, this photograph holds more than just aesthetic appeal. It serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences faced by those who dare to challenge established institutions. Just months after its publication, Margueritte was expelled from the prestigious Legion of Honour for daring to write "La Garconne". This act of defiance against traditional gender roles and sexual liberation caused uproar among conservative circles. Taken on January 15th, 1923, this monochrome image captures both the essence of a man unafraid to push boundaries and the turbulent times in which he lived. The Central News photographer has masterfully captured Margueritte's intensity through his lens. Today, this photograph stands as a testament to artistic courage and freedom of expression. It reminds us that even in an era dominated by conformity, there were individuals like M Victor Margueritte who dared to challenge societal norms through their literary works.
