EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch by Fish, titled "A Tango at the Empress Rooms, London, 1926," transports us back in time to the glamorous age of the Jazz Era and the Roaring Twenties. The image showcases a couple deeply engrossed in the passionate dance of the tango, their bodies swaying in perfect harmony as they glide across the ballroom floor. The Empress Rooms, a renowned cabaret and dining establishment in London, served as the backdrop for this romantic moment, where the city's elite came to indulge in nightlife entertainment. The intricate details in Fish's illustration capture the essence of the Art Deco era, with its bold geometric shapes, rich colors, and ornate patterns. The couple's elegant attire, the couple's refined appearance, and the opulent decor of the Empress Rooms all contribute to the overall allure of this enchanting scene. The tango, an Argentine dance that had taken the world by storm, was a symbol of passion and seduction, making it the perfect choice for this romantic sketch. The couple's intense focus on each other, their bodies moving in perfect unison, speaks to the deep connection and emotional intensity that the dance embodies. This sketch by Fish is a beautiful reminder of the glamour and excitement of the 1920s, a time when the world seemed to be alive with the magic of art, music, and dance. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who danced the night away at the Empress Rooms, and to appreciate the timeless beauty of this moment in history.
