L'Apres Midi d'un Faun
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and enigmatic image by American artist Frank M. Lea, inspired by the iconic 1912 ballet of the same name by Vaslav Nijinsky and Michel Fokine. This evocative print showcases a grotesque faun, reclining in a state of post-prandial bliss, his satiated expression contrasting sharply with the ethereal grace of a nymph-like waitress. Dressed only in an apron and a conical hat, she delicately carries away a tray, her lithe form a testament to the timeless allure of the natural world. Lea's interpretation of the classic ballet, first performed by the Ballet Russes, is a fascinating blend of historical reference and fantastical imagination. The image's erotic undertones, hinted at by the nymph's bare form and the faun's sensuous slumber, add an intriguing layer of complexity to the composition. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow further enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene, transporting the viewer to a realm where myth and reality intertwine. This exquisite print, with its rich history and captivating subject matter, is a must-have for collectors of fine art, ballet enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for the fantastical and the beautiful. Frank M. Lea's "L'Apres Midi d'un Faun" is a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, delight, and provoke the imagination.
