Bilitis, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pochoir print that transports us to the world of ancient Greece. Created by Georges Barbier in 1922, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of sensuality and eroticism. The scene depicted showcases two lovers entwined in an intimate embrace. Their bodies, delicately portrayed with subtle nudity, exude a sense of vulnerability and desire. The art deco style adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the composition. Barbier's skillful use of color and intricate details bring this piece to life. The silk throw draped over their intertwined bodies creates a luxurious atmosphere, while butterflies flutter around them symbolizing metamorphosis and freedom. This illustration is part of Pierre Louys' "Les Chansons de Bilitis" a collection of poems celebrating lesbian love in ancient Greece. Through his artistic interpretation, Barbier pays homage to the beauty and complexity of same-sex relationships throughout history. With its suggestive imagery and romantic undertones, this print challenges societal norms surrounding sexuality. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or restrictions. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this work stands as a testament to Barbier's talent as an illustrator during the Art Deco movement. Its enduring appeal lies not only in its aesthetic allure but also in its celebration of human connection beyond conventional expectations.
