The Poets Corner, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and enchanting piece of art that captures the essence of creativity and imagination. Created by Sem (Georges Goursat) in pen & ink and watercolor on paper, this print showcases a gathering of renowned poets from the early 20th century. In this fantastical scene, we see Jean Cocteau transformed into a graceful greyhound while Anna de Noailles takes on the role of a magical fairy. The anthropomorphic characters dance joyously with a grasshopper as they revel in their poetic prowess. The ambiance is filled with fanciful elements such as dinner jackets, caricatures, roses, lyres, and even references to Gabriele D'Annunzio - all symbols associated with poetry and artistic expression. Each detail adds depth to the imaginary world created by Sem. This artwork not only pays homage to these celebrated poets but also invites viewers into an ethereal realm where words come alive through movement and grace. It serves as a reminder of the power of literature to transport us beyond reality's confines. "The Poets Corner, 1914" is an exquisite example of Sem's talent for capturing both humor and beauty in his illustrations. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it continues to captivate audiences today.
