EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to 1893, where we witness a moment of intimate vulnerability and female camaraderie. Created by renowned French artist Suzanne Valadon, "Femmes au bain" (Women at the Bath) showcases her mastery of soft-ground etching. Valadon's artistic prowess is evident as she skillfully captures the essence of these women in their private sanctuary. The scene unfolds with an air of tranquility and sensuality as the bathers immerse themselves in soothing waters. Each figure exudes a unique aura; some appear lost in thought while others engage in quiet conversation, creating a harmonious atmosphere that celebrates feminine solidarity. The soft-ground etching technique employed by Valadon adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing our visual experience. Through delicate lines and intricate details, she brings life to every stroke on paper, showcasing her ability to convey emotion through art. As spectators, we become voyeurs into this intimate world where societal norms are momentarily suspended. Valadon challenges traditional notions surrounding femininity by presenting these women unapologetically embracing their bodies and reveling in each other's company. This print serves as a testament to Suzanne Valadon's remarkable talent and her contribution to the art world during a time when female artists faced significant barriers. It invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions of beauty, womanhood, and friendship while appreciating the timeless allure captured within this
