EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the essence of the roaring 1920s in Paris. In this scene, two men dressed impeccably in black tie attire are seen joyfully dancing to the enchanting tunes played by a saxophonist. The artist, Sem (Georges Goursat), known for his caricatures, beautifully portrays the high society and upper-class atmosphere of White Bottoms. The image exudes an air of sophistication and excess that defined the Jazz Age. These gentlemen embody the spirit of the era as they gracefully move to the rhythm of jazz music, showcasing their refined taste and love for entertainment. The saxophone player adds a touch of charm with his melodic melodies, creating an ambiance filled with energy and excitement. Parisian nightlife during this time was renowned for its extravagant parties and social gatherings where people indulged in dance forms like Charleston and Black Bottom. This print transports us back to those glamorous times when jazz reigned supreme. Sem's mastery is evident through his intricate engraving technique that brings out every detail with precision. The use of color blocks enhances the vibrancy of this artwork, making it visually striking. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of a bygone era characterized by elegance, cultural revolution, and artistic expression – all captured within these two men dancing to the irresistible sounds emanating from that saxophone.
