“Le baiser” (The Kiss) by Paul Gavarni (French) - Crayon lithograph, hand-colored with watercolor / 1837 - Musée d’art et d’histoire, Ville de Genève (Switzerland) #WomenInArt #PaulGavarni #Gavarni #FrenchArt #RomanticArt #TheKiss #VilledeGenève #MuséedArt #art #artText #arte #FrenchArtist #1830sArt
French artist Paul Gavarni, born Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier in Paris, became famous for lithographs that observed modern life with elegance, wit, and a sharp eye for social performance. This print belongs to that world. In a shaded garden, two young women are caught in a sudden, intimate moment on a painted green bench. The woman at right, with very pale skin and black hair swept into a smooth bun, bends forward from the waist and presses a kiss to the lips of the other woman seated on green wooden bench. She wears a black skirt, a white bodice, and a dark sash that sharpens the curve of her body as she folds over her companion. The seated woman, light-skinned with soft brown curls and pink cheeks, reclines backward in a rose-patterned dress with a blue apron or overskirt spilling across her lap. The standing woman’s hand grips the other woman’s wrist while the the seated woman reaches up with her hand behind the kisser’s neck, making the embrace feel both tender and unstable. A small open booklet lies on the ground below, as if dropped mid-conversation. Dense trees close in overhead, turning the bench into a pocket of privacy, while faint figures in the distance suggest a public park just beyond this private moment. The depiction may be flirtation, affection, satire, or even theatrical mischief as Gavarni leaves the scene open enough to provoke curiosity. That ambiguity is part of the work’s force. The dropped booklet hints at interruption, the diagonal pose creates a sense of motion and risk, and the shadowed setting turns it into a social drama. In the 19th century, such imagery could invite viewers to look with amusement, desire, or moral judgment. Today, the print stands out for preserving an unusually direct image of intimacy between women in a refined, carefully staged popular print. Small in scale but rich in implication, it shows how Gavarni could make a fleeting encounter feel psychologically charged, stylish, and impossible to dismiss.

Merci @dedelajoie.fr pour cette balade dans le bas de #Montmartre aussi agréable que passionnante.
Le Monument à Gavarni est un monument réalisé par le sculpteur Denys Puech et l'architecte Henri Guillaume, érigé en 1904 au centre de la place Saint-Georges dans le 9e arrondissement de Paris, à la mémoire du dessinateur satirique Paul Gavarni. Le monument est constitué d'une colonne au sommet de laquelle se trouve un buste de Gavarni, représenté en train de dessiner sur un carnet de croquis[13]. Gavarni s'étant fait une spécialité de dessiner le Carnaval de Paris et ses personnages, Puech en représente quatre en haut-relief à la base de la colonne : un Débardeur, une Lorette[a], un Rapin et un Arlequin. C'est à Paris le seul endroit où est évoqué le Carnaval de Paris qui disparaît en 1950 après avoir été une très importante manifestation depuis des siècles. Sur les quatre faces du piédestal, des mascarons de bronze, représentant des figures typiques de personnages du XIXe siècle, sont destinées à déverser un filet d'eau, mais la fontaine est très rarement en fonction. L'ensemble est entouré d'une grille.

Today's #ootd is this 1949 "Gavarni" satin evening dress made by Jacques Fath, using sequins and crystals to make a floral pattern. The bodice is wrapped to make it look like it is buttoned up on the left, and opens up at the skirt to reveal a faux petticoat. #Fashionhistory

#Ootd is this 1906 linen day dress by # PaulPoiret, called "Gavarni." It looks very simplistic for Poiret, and more like something from the Arts and Crafts movement. It shows how he was still in keeping with other fashion movements at the time, and that he was still designing outfits that required
