EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 18th century takes us back in time to witness a comical critique of women's hairstyles in France. The French School, known for their satirical art, brilliantly captures the absurdity and excessiveness of these fashionable hairdos that were prevalent during this era. The print showcases a bustling street scene where men and women are seen walking with exaggerated hairstyles that defy gravity. With outsized curls, towering structures, and intricate designs, these hairdos push the boundaries of fashion to an extreme level. The artist's intention is clear - to mock and ridicule the prevailing trends of the time. Through clever caricature and biting humor, this artwork highlights society's obsession with appearance and its willingness to go to ridiculous lengths for style. It serves as both a historical document reflecting the fashion trends of 1780s France while also offering a timeless commentary on societal norms surrounding beauty. This lithograph was later featured in Eduard Fuchs' book "Die Frau in der Karikatur" (Women in Caricature) published in 1907. Its inclusion underscores its significance as an important piece within the realm of satirical art. As we gaze upon this intriguing image, we are reminded that throughout history, art has served as a powerful tool for social commentary - challenging conventions and provoking thought.
