EDITORS COMMENTS
Ball Under the Blue Moon captures a whimsical scene straight out of a fairytale. This enchanting pochoir print, created by Georges Barbier in 1928, brings to life the magical world of Fetes Galantes, inspired by the poetry of Paul Verlaine. In this illustration, we are transported to an ethereal park illuminated by the soft glow of a blue moon. A female astronomer gazes through her telescope with wonder and curiosity as she unravels the mysteries of the night sky. Her presence adds an air of fantasy and intrigue to this dreamlike setting. Surrounding her are various characters from French folklore and mythology. Harlequin plays his lute while a sleeping satyr rests nearby, creating a harmonious atmosphere filled with music and tranquility. The bridge spanning over a serene river adds to the romantic ambiance, inviting us into this idyllic realm. Cherubs and putti frolic around, adding their own touch of mischief and charm to this nocturnal fete galante. Their presence further enhances our sense of wonderment as they interact with both monstrous and wonderful characters alike. Barbier's skillful use of vibrant colors combined with intricate details transports us into an otherworldly realm where imagination reigns supreme. Ball Under the Blue Moon is not just a mere print; it is an invitation to escape reality for just a moment and immerse ourselves in pure delight.
