EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Alexandre Lunois, titled "Calendar for 1903, 1902," transports us back to the early 1900s and the height of the Art Nouveau movement in France. The image, created by Lunois in the late 19th century, showcases a group of young women in various stages of preparation for a ballet performance. The women, dressed in flowing, ethereal costumes, are seen in a dimly lit, rustic setting reminiscent of a country playhouse or theater. The audience is drawn into the scene by the expressive faces and graceful poses of the ballerinas. The lead dancer, with her arms outstretched and eyes closed in concentration, embodies the essence of the ballet art form. The other women in the group, each in different stages of readiness, add to the sense of anticipation and excitement. The use of lithography, a printing technique that involves drawing on a limestone plate with a crayon or brush and then applying ink and water, gives the image a unique texture and depth. The contrast between the olive and grayish ivory tones adds to the overall mood of the piece, which exudes a sense of heritage and timelessness. This beautiful work of art, now held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the ballet and the artistry of Alexandre Lunois. It invites us to imagine the magic of a live performance and the enchantment of a bygone era.
