EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration in Le Rire, 30/03/12 - the seductress" takes us back to early 20th century France. Created by renowned artist Lucien Metivet, this engraving was featured on the cover of Le Rire, a prominent satirical magazine of its time. The image portrays a mysterious femme fatale, exuding an air of seduction and allure. Dressed in an elegant costume with a stylish hat perched atop her head, she embodies the epitome of French fashion from that era. The artist's caricature style adds a touch of humor to the illustration while subtly commenting on societal norms and morals. What makes this artwork particularly intriguing is its connection to homosexuality and lesbianism. In an era when such topics were often taboo or ignored altogether, Metivet fearlessly incorporates these themes into his work. By doing so, he challenges societal conventions and sheds light on marginalized communities. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of both the progress made in terms of acceptance and understanding towards diverse sexual orientations as well as how much further we still have to go. This print not only captures the essence of French culture during that time but also acts as a testament to art's ability to provoke thought and spark conversations about important social issues.
