EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of the artwork "The exit of the midinettes" by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen. Created before 1907, this charcoal and pastel drawing on paper is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, PeuPalais. The image showcases a group of young women known as midinettes leaving their work at the end of the day. Steinlen's masterful strokes bring to life the energy and camaraderie among these French laborers. The midinettes, often seamstresses or shop assistants, were an integral part of Parisian society during the early 20th century. In this scene, they are depicted with joyful expressions and animated gestures, suggesting a sense of freedom after a long day's work. The artist pays attention to detail in capturing their attire - from their collared blouses to their stylish hats - reflecting both fashion trends of that era and individual personalities. This intimate glimpse into their lives highlights not only their youthfulness but also hints at deep friendships forged amidst shared experiences. Sylvain Collet's expert photography skillfully captures every nuance of Steinlen's original artwork, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate beauty even through a printed medium. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by historical moments frozen in time, this print offers an engaging window into early 20th-century France and celebrates both artistic talent and human connection.
