1931 Belle Dancer Leclerc Plaisirs Deco
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Sois belle et tatouée" (Be Beautiful and Tattooed), was created by the renowned French artist Leclerc for the June 1931 issue of Paris Plaisirs, a popular French magazine known for its fashion, culture, and entertainment content. The illustration showcases a stylish and confident African dancer in the height of the Jazz Age, with the vibrant energy and exuberance that defined the 1920s. The dancer's body is adorned with intricate and colorful tattoos, reflecting the fascination with exoticism and primitivism that was prevalent during this era. The Art Deco influences are evident in the bold lines, geometric shapes, and rich colors used in the illustration, which adds to its timeless appeal. This image not only represents the cultural and artistic trends of the 1920s but also showcases the beauty and diversity of the human body and the power of self-expression through art." "The illustration is a testament to the rich history of cartoon and illustration art during the 1920s and 30s, and is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage art or cultural history. The image is a reminder of the enduring influence of the Jazz Age on art, fashion, and popular culture, and continues to inspire artists and designers to this day." "The illustration is a rare and beautiful example of the work of Leclerc, whose career spanned several decades and encompassed a wide range of artistic styles and genres. This particular illustration is a standout for its bold and dynamic composition, its exploration of the themes of beauty, self-expression, and cultural exchange, and its enduring appeal as a visual representation of a bygone era." "The illustration is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage art, and is a testament to the rich cultural and artistic history of the 1920s and 30s. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire and delight us with its beauty and creativity.
