EDITORS COMMENTS
Not Every Bathing Dress Spells a Plunge in the River" is a captivating sketch by French artist Barribal, created in June 1925, depicting a young woman in a diaphanous green bathing dress posing in a lush garden. The title of the artwork itself plays with the double meaning of the phrase "bathing dress," suggesting both the act of wearing one for swimming and the appearance of the dress itself. The woman in the sketch is shown standing with her arms raised above her head, her figure slim and slender, her toes delicately tiptoeing on the grass. The flowing material of her bathing dress skims her body, revealing just enough to tantalize the viewer without giving too much away. The setting is idyllic, with trees and greenery surrounding her, creating a sense of privacy and serenity. Despite the title and the woman's bathing attire, there is no indication that she is actually in a river or intending to take a plunge. Instead, she seems to be enjoying the feeling of the sun on her skin and the breeze in her hair, reveling in the simple pleasure of being outdoors. The sketch captures the essence of the 1920s, a decade known for its flapper culture and emphasis on youth, freedom, and self-expression. Barribal's use of color and composition in "Not Every Bathing Dress Spells a Plunge in the River" is masterful, with the green of the woman's dress blending seamlessly into the background of the garden. The sketch invites the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the moment, and the woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of joy and contentment. Overall, this artwork is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of life and the allure of the past.
