Très Parisien, 1925, No. 7, Pl. 5. - TOUR DU LAC 1925

This print, Très Parisien, was made in 1925 by G-P. Joumard. Look at these blocks of color: solid purple and two tones of blue. I imagine the artist layering these colors, thinking about the page as a space, carefully positioning these figures in their beautiful dresses. I wonder if Joumard was thinking about Sonia Delaunay when they created this print? It feels like there is a shared interest in how we can construct surface and depth through line and shape. The artist is creating an atmosphere but also describing the shape of fabric. These kinds of images remind me that all artists are in conversation with one another across time. The painterly mark offers a way to explore the world that embraces change, play, and uncertainty, leaving space for multiple interpretations and meanings to emerge.
