EDITORS COMMENTS
Chant Pastoral, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis, by Pierre Louys, pub. 1922 (pochoir print) captures the essence of eroticism and sensuality in a mesmerizing art deco style. Created by Georges Barbier, this print takes us on a journey to ancient Greece where we find ourselves immersed in a lush woodland. In this enchanting scene, we witness a male figure playing pan pipes amidst the trees while being observed by a hooved centaur. The intertwining branches and vibrant greenery create an atmosphere of tranquility and mystery. The presence of horns suggests an otherworldly element that adds to the allure of the artwork. The theme of lesbian love is subtly hinted at with references to Bilitis, a fictional character created by Louys who explored themes of female homosexuality in his work. This delicate portrayal challenges societal norms and celebrates diverse expressions of love. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail brings forth the beauty found within nature itself – each tree meticulously rendered as if it were part of an intricate botanical study. This fusion between art and natural history showcases Barbier's mastery as an illustrator. This stunning piece exemplifies the art movement known as Art Deco which flourished during the early 20th century. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today, reminding us that true artistic expression transcends time.
