During Intermission,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by Alexandre Lunois, published in 1894, invites viewers to take a moment to appreciate the charm of a theatrical intermission. Set against the backdrop of a grand opera house, three individuals, two women and a man, are seen enjoying a brief respite from the performance. The woman in the foreground, dressed in black, gazes intently through her opera glasses, while the man, also clad in black, leans forward, deep in conversation with the other woman. The trio is seated in a plush, red velvet theater box, the elegance of which is accentuated by the contrasting cream-colored walls of the box and the rich, dark woodwork. The artist masterfully employs a palette of black, orange, yellow, and blue to create a striking visual effect. The use of lithotint and lithography techniques, with crayon brush scraping in tusche, adds depth and texture to the image. The intricate details of the theater box, the delicate folds of the women's clothing, and the expressive faces of the figures all contribute to the overall sense of artistry and sophistication. This evocative print, a testament to the allure of the theater and the human experience, is a must-see for any art enthusiast or history buff. Originating from the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, "During Intermission" is a prime example of the Art Nouveau movement and the exceptional talent of Alexandre Lunois. The print invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty and richness of the world around us.
