EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "l Indienne" or "Native American Woman," showcases a woman adorned in a fancy dress costume inspired by Native American traditions. The image, created as part of "Our Fancy Dress Costumes," a popular series published in Paris in 1928, is a stunning example of the exoticism and cultural appropriation that characterized the Jazz Age. The woman in the print is depicted wearing an intricately embroidered, knee-length dress adorned with vibrant colors and geometric patterns. Her hair is styled in loose waves and adorned with a feather headdress, which adds a regal and mystical air to her appearance. In one hand, she holds a bow, while in the other, she cradles an arrow, evoking images of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle often romanticized in the popular imagination of the time. The print was created using the pochoir stencil technique, which involves applying color to a stencil using a brush. This labor-intensive process allowed for intricate detail and a high level of color accuracy, resulting in a visually stunning final product. Despite its artistic merit, it's important to acknowledge the problematic nature of this image. The use of Native American traditions as a source of inspiration for fancy dress costumes was a common practice during this era, but it perpetuated harmful stereotypes and erased the complex history and cultural significance of Indigenous peoples. Today, we can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of this print while also acknowledging the historical context in which it was created and the impact it had on Native American representation.
