191074728Paris c.1910. Georges Goursat 1863-1934 known as Sem attained a high level of success with his wonderful portrayals of Paris at the turn of the century. This outstanding caricaturist was a member of the Salon des Humoristes and an officer of the Legion of Honor. His works offer us glimpses into Parisian high society at the turn of the century. Sem's unique talent made his work very identifiable particularly because of the essential sobriety of his composition in which his characters usually emerge from a white or plain background rather than being more obvious caricatures. Sem captured the spirit of the subject and in turn produced images that were true to life. This beautiful print is a part of Album de Sem published in Paris c. 1910. Lithograph. Printed colour.

From a signed edition of 300 on Arches paper this number 283. This rare portfolio captures the high-stakes courtroom drama of Paul Bolo a French financier turned traitor. Bolo orchestrated a massive anti-war propaganda campaign in France using $2.5 million in German funds-funneled through the Egyptian Khedive Abbas Hilmi. After the plot was unmasked Bolo who had adopted the title "Bolo Pasha" was convicted of treason and executed by firing squad in April 1918. Across 68 masterful lithographic sketches the renowned caricaturist Sem Georges Goursat documents the tension of the proceedings. His sharp economical lines bring to life the judge the defiant defendant and the parade of witnesses. While Sem is best known for his whimsical depictions of the Belle Epoque elite this work demonstrates his keen eye for the psychological weight of a national crisis. Georges Goursat better known as Sem was the premier social chronicler of his age. A regular contributor to France's leading periodicals his work remains highly esteemed today for its ability to capture the essence of the French ruling class with equal parts wit and precision. unknown
