Modesty Plaisirs 1929 December Deco Pudeur
EDITORS COMMENTS
Illustration Pudeur! by Jaquelux from Paris Plaisirs number 90, December 1929 is a captivating and humorous illustration that showcases the spirit of the Jazz Age in Paris during the 1920s. The image, which translates to "Modesty!" in English, is a testament to the era's cultural fascination with the contrast between the provocative and the prudish. Jaquelux, the pen name of French artist Jean-Baptiste Poux, expertly captures the essence of the 1920s through his intricate Art Deco drawing style. In this illustration, we see a group of flapper-aged women gathered around a grand piano, their eyes wide with surprise and amusement as they witness an unexpected moment of immodesty from one of their number. The woman in question, her back to the audience, has inadvertently exposed her stockinged leg, much to the delight of the other women. The illustration is from Paris Plaisirs, a popular French magazine known for its humorous and satirical take on contemporary life. The December 1929 issue, number 90, would have been a fitting end to a year that saw the Jazz Age reach its zenith in Paris. The image is a reminder of a time when the line between modesty and immodesty was blurred, and the city of Paris was the epicenter of cultural innovation and experimentation. This illustration is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the social norms and cultural trends of the 1920s. Its intricate details and vibrant colors make it a beautiful addition to any collection of Jazz Age art or illustration. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the 1920s and the continued fascination with this era in history.
