EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Tombeau de Bilitis, illustration from Les Chansons de Bilitis, by Pierre Louys, pub. 1922 (pochoir print) captures the essence of eroticism and sensuality in a mesmerizing display of art deco brilliance. Created by Georges Barbier, this stunning piece takes us on a journey to ancient Greece. In this image, we witness a poignant scene where a flame-haired woman mourns over the tomb of Bilitis, an emblematic figure representing female desire and lesbian love. The melancholic atmosphere is heightened by the presence of torches illuminating the sacred space while laurel wreaths adorn the surroundings. The male figure with wings symbolizes Eros himself, embodying both desire and longing. His presence adds depth to the narrative as he gazes upon the grieving woman with empathy and understanding. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; his mastery brings forth intricate garlands that intertwine gracefully around our protagonists. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication characteristic of French culture during that era. This pochoir print not only celebrates beauty but also challenges societal norms surrounding homosexuality at that time. It serves as a testament to acceptance and inclusivity within artistic expression. As we contemplate this evocative artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art has always been at the forefront of exploring human emotions and experiences.
