EDITORS COMMENTS
Rajah" is a captivating lithograph print created by the renowned Belgian artist Henri Meunier in 1897. This stunning artwork, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases a regal woman adorned in exotic jewelry and a vibrant headdress. The title "Rajah" refers to a female ruler or queen in South Asian cultures. Meunier, a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau movement, masterfully employed the use of rich colors in this piece. The lithograph was produced as a lithograph proof before letters in six colors: vermillion, yellow, cobalt blue, ocher, reddish brown, and dark brown. These vivid hues bring the woman's intricately designed jewelry and elaborate headdress to life. The woman in the print wears several pieces of jewelry, including a large arm ring and multiple finger rings. Her headdress, or head dress, is a stunning work of art in itself, featuring intricate patterns and a cascade of feathers. The overall design is inspired by the exoticism of far-off lands and the opulence of royalty. Henri Meunier, born in Belgium, was a prolific artist during the 19th century. His work, including "Rajah," showcases the artistic influences of the time and the fascination with the exotic and the foreign. Today, "Rajah" stands as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the late 1800s and the enduring appeal of the Art Nouveau movement. This print, with its bold colors and intricate details, continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the artistic vision of a masterful artist.
