EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Memphis Blue - A Vision of Elegance and Grace from the Early 20th Century Circa 1918, this exquisite watercolour painting captures the essence of timeless beauty and femininity. Entitled 'Memphis Blue', the artwork features a woman standing in an elegant pose, her graceful silhouette adorned in a decorative blue dress that shimmers with intricate detail. The artist, Rodolphe Derlanger, masterfully employs a rich colour palette, with the woman's dress contrasting against the muted background, creating a striking visual impact. This piece was originally published in a magazine, likely in the October volume of a prestigious publication. The woman's refined appearance and the painting's overall aesthetic suggest an affluent and sophisticated audience. The title 'Memphis Blue' may have been inspired by the popular blues music scene in Memphis, Tennessee during that era, or it could simply be a reference to the woman's beautiful blue dress. Rodolphe Derlanger was a renowned French painter, known for his portraits and figure studies. His ability to capture the essence of his subjects and the subtle nuances of their emotions is evident in this painting. 'Memphis Blue' is not only a testament to Derlanger's artistic skill but also a window into the fashion and societal norms of the early 1900s. The painting's vibrant colours and intricate details have been preserved in this high-quality print from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This print is an excellent addition to any art collection or a perfect conversation starter for those interested in the history of art and fashion.
