EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic characters Lorelei and Dorothy from Anita Loos' famous novel, "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" published in 1928. The lithograph, created by Ralph Barton, exudes the essence of the roaring twenties with its depiction of two elegant flapper women. Seated gracefully in their evening wear, Lorelei and Dorothy epitomize the fashionable style of the era. Their youthful beauty is accentuated by their flawless features and carefully arranged corsages. Adorned with pearls that shimmer against their dark dresses, they embody sophistication and glamour. The illustration not only captures their physical allure but also hints at their playful personalities. With a touch of humor and satirical social commentary typical of Loos' writing, these characters come to life on paper. They represent a generation breaking free from societal norms while navigating love, relationships, and ambition. As we gaze upon this timeless image preserved in a private collection, we are transported back to an era filled with excitement and change. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture both the spirit of an age and the complexities within human nature.
