EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mistinguett, a renowned French music hall actress, singer, and film star from the early 20th century. The image showcases Mistinguett alongside her knightly companion in a colorful caricature from Le Rire magazine in 1918. Created by Italian artist Italo Orsi, this lithograph beautifully portrays the medieval-inspired costumes worn by both figures. Mistinguett's glamorous attire reflects her status as an entertainer extraordinaire, while her knight exudes chivalry and strength. Their contrasting roles symbolize the dynamic nature of their performances on stage - she as a talented female artist and he as her loyal protector. The composition also highlights elements of traditional armor with intricate mesh detailing and plate armor adorning the knight's body. This visual juxtaposition between Mistinguett's feminine costume and the male figure's armored clothing adds depth to their characters' portrayal. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that Maurice Chevalier (1888-1972) played an integral role in Mistinguett's life. Jeanne Bourgeois, known professionally as Mistinguett, found immense success during her career with Chevalier often accompanying her on stage or screen. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where soldiers and entertainers coexisted harmoniously amidst turbulent times. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and bring people together even during periods marked by conflict.
