EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir print, titled "Indications" is a stunning illustration from the renowned book Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louys. Created in 1922 by the talented artist Georges Barbier, this artwork exudes an air of eroticism and sensuality that was characteristic of the Art Deco movement. The scene transports us to ancient Greece, where we witness a mesmerizing dance performed by a man adorned with horns and surrounded by luscious grapes. The naked figures evoke a sense of freedom and liberation, while also hinting at themes of homosexuality and lesbianism. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of Greek culture and antiquity. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life to the botanical elements such as grapevines and fruit bowls, highlighting their significance in both artistry and viticulture. Through his masterful choreography depicted on paper, Barbier invites us into a world where beauty intertwines with desire. This print not only showcases his artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to France's rich cultural heritage. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection, this work continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure. Its presence reminds us that art has the power to transcend time and ignite our imagination through its exploration of human emotions and experiences.
