EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Serenity" takes us back to the year 1915, amidst the chaos of the First World War. Created by Gerda Marie Frederike Wegener, a Danish artist, this colour lithograph captures a unique moment in time from the weekly journal La Baionnette. In this stylish illustration, we see a female figure seated on a stool in what appears to be a bustling bar. Despite the lively nightlife surrounding her, she exudes an air of tranquility and composure. However, upon closer inspection, we notice beads of sweat forming on her forehead - perhaps hinting at an underlying tension or unease. The woman's fashionable attire is indicative of French elegance during that era. She wears spats and stylish boots while holding onto two bottles with labels that remain mysterious to us today. The contrast between her poised demeanor and the subtle perspiration creates an intriguing sense of contradiction. Some may interpret this image as representing seduction or allure; others might perceive it as commentary on societal expectations placed upon women during wartime. Regardless of its intended message, "Serenity" invites viewers to contemplate themes such as bravery versus cowardice and beauty amidst turmoil. Preserved within private collections worldwide, this artwork serves as both a historical artifact from early 20th-century France and an artistic expression that transcends time itself.
