Baumer Cigarette Flapper Lewis Sophisticated 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This color illustration, titled "The Cigarette," is a stunning work of art by the talented Lewis Baumer, created in 1927. The image depicts a sophisticated flapper girl, dressed in the height of fashion for the era, with a confident and alluring expression as she takes a puff from a long, elegant cigarette holder. The rich, deep hues of the illustration transport us back in time to the Roaring Twenties, a decade known for its decadence, rebellion, and cultural shifts. Flappers were a symbol of the newfound freedom and independence that women experienced during this period. They rejected traditional gender roles and embraced modernity, often seen in their short bobbed hair, loose-fitting clothing, and bold behavior. Smoking was one such symbol of this newfound freedom, and the image of the flapper smoking a cigarette became an iconic representation of the era. Baumer's illustration masterfully captures the essence of the flapper spirit, with the intricate details of her clothing, the delicate curves of her body, and the smoky atmosphere surrounding her. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we are transported back to a time of change and excitement, a time when the world seemed full of endless possibilities. The Cigarette by Lewis Baumer is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the culture and history of the Roaring Twenties.
