Très Parisien, 1926, No. 2, Pl. 9: - CONFIDENCE 1926

G-P. Joumard made this print, titled 'Confidence', sometime in 1926, I think. It's full of the fashion of the era. I'm really enjoying how the colours feel both bold and muted at the same time, especially the juxtaposition between the blues, reds, and blacks. You can see that the artist is thinking about the relationship between different textures, like the play of satin against the Georgette. I bet Joumard was intrigued by how lines and shapes could define elegance and modernity, all while capturing the spirit of Parisian fashion at the time. The seated woman's expression, that sort of knowing glance, really speaks to the title of the print. I wonder if Joumard was thinking about the new roles women were beginning to occupy in society at the time. The artwork acts like a time capsule, inviting us to think about how much has changed, and maybe, what remains the same. It's a conversation, you know?
