EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'Etranger" is an exquisite illustration from the renowned collection of Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louys, published in 1922. Created using the pochoir printing technique, this artwork showcases the exceptional talent of Georges Barbier (1882-1932), a prominent artist of his time. The image transports us to ancient Greece, where we witness a scene filled with sensuality and eroticism. A fearless female figure gracefully rides bareback on a magnificent dappled horse, her cape flowing behind her as she flees abroad. The woman's nakedness symbolizes liberation and freedom, while also hinting at themes of lesbian desire and homosexuality prevalent in Louys' work. Barbier's art deco style adds an extra layer of elegance to this composition. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to both the woman and her majestic steed, capturing their movement with remarkable precision. This extraordinary piece not only celebrates femininity but also explores themes such as escape, adventure, and self-discovery. It reminds us that art has the power to evoke emotions and provoke thought through its visual storytelling. Displayed within private collections like The Stapleton Collection, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of French culture during that era. As we admire this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform let it serve as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to expressing human desires and emotions.
