EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece illustration from Anita Loos' novel "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" takes us back to the roaring 1920s, a time of social change and cultural revolution. The lithograph, created by Ralph Barton in 1928, perfectly captures the essence of the Jazz Age with its caricatured characters and satirical style. In this vibrant scene, we are transported to a glamorous soiree where an orchestra is playing lively music. The flapper-era women in their stylish attire exude confidence and youthfulness as they mingle and enjoy the concert. Their beauty is undeniable, reflecting the idealized image of American femininity during that era. The artist's humorous touch can be seen in his exaggerated portrayal of these high society ladies. With their elongated limbs and animated expressions, they become larger-than-life figures within this whimsical world. This playful exaggeration adds a sense of charm to the artwork while also serving as a social commentary on the upper class. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of an era defined by its rebellious spirit and carefree attitude. It encapsulates both the elegance and excitement that characterized the 1920s - an age known for its jazz-infused parties and progressive ideals. This frontispiece illustration serves as a delightful window into history, allowing us to relish in the energy and glamour of one of America's most iconic periods.
