Très Parisien, 1927, No. 3, Pl. 11: Créations JANE REGNY - PROMENADE 1927

G-P. Joumard’s pochoir print, Très Parisien, was made in 1927 and look at how softly these two figures emerge from the page. I wonder if Joumard mixed the colours intuitively. The colour palette is earthy and subdued. I can almost feel the artist’s hand tracing the outlines, filling them in with gentle layers of colour. There's a hint of the fashion plate, but the slightly smudged lines give it a more vulnerable, intimate quality. It’s like the artist is inviting us into their own personal world of style. The way the figures are set against the backdrop, they seem to be engaged in a silent dialogue, each lost in their thoughts. You can feel their presence, which is the magic of art. I often wonder if they knew their work would be appreciated by people, even now? In the end, it's all one big conversation, an ongoing exchange of ideas that spans across time.
