1925, which only raised sarcasm yesterday, softened suddenly. We say retro for the fiftieth anniversary of the Decorative Arts. OK, go retro!
Joséphine Baker, Charlot, la Violettera, bell bottoms, the threepenny franc, and Valentino reappear in our mythology. Einstein's surrealism, Picasso the Augustus and Cocteau the White Clown, Stravinsky, and Freud, have not left her. With the lamé shirt dress, the girl finds the make-up of the lower eyelid, this dark circle, of her mother, the Garçonne. Van Dongen goes back to the Hôtel Drouot.
"We descended towards 1939 as 1900 descended towards 1914, sliding into the abyss as if in a pleasure," wrote Paul Morand, the magician of 1900. We do not yet know what we are descending, and we do not descend there cheerfully these are the only notable differences" AL.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
