EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Blank Frontispiece, from Les Liaisons Dangereuses" transports us into the world of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' scandalous novel. Created in 1934 by the talented artist Georges Barbier, this pochoir print beautifully captures the essence of the story's themes: bare and dangerous liaisons. The image portrays a striking female figure at its center, exuding an air of mystery and seduction. Her butterfly wings symbolize her transformative nature and hint at the intricate web of sexual intrigue woven throughout the narrative. Surrounding her are male figures adorned with leopard swags, representing their predatory desires. The presence of cherubs adds a touch of innocence amidst this provocative scene. These mischievous putti observe from above, reminding us that even in matters as complex as love and desire, there is still room for whimsy and playfulness. Barbier's artistic skill shines through in every detail; his mastery of color and composition brings life to each element within the print. The use of nudity further emphasizes both vulnerability and empowerment within these dangerous liaisons. As we gaze upon this work of art, we are transported to 18th-century France - a time when social conventions were challenged by passion and desire. It serves as a testament to French culture's rich history in exploring themes that push boundaries while celebrating beauty in all its forms.
