EDITORS COMMENTS
Poster, Scala, A Fleur de Peau" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Georges Goursat, better known as SEM. This exquisite piece, created circa 1904, measures an impressive 31 inches by 23 inches and showcases the artist's mastery of color. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, inviting us to experience the allure of France during this era of innovation and artistic expression. At the heart of the composition, a dapper man in a top hat gazes intently at a woman, her face veiled in a black, orange, and white floral mask, known as "fleur de peau." The man's expression is one of fascination and anticipation, while the woman's eyes are closed, lost in her own thoughts. The background is filled with a lively scene of people and activity, suggesting the bustling energy of a city or perhaps a vibrant entertainment venue, such as the famous Théâtre de la Scala in Paris. This lithograph is a testament to the artistic collaboration between SEM and the influential publication "Louis Charbonnier's Revue," which commissioned the work for their tableau series. The collaboration between artist and publisher was a common practice during this period, with the goal of creating visually stunning advertisements for entertainment and cultural events. The intricate details and rich colors of "Poster, Scala, A Fleur de Peau" make it a standout piece from the early 20th century. This artwork continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of French art and culture.
