Émilienne d'Alençon et son anglaise
191074782Paris 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. Émilienne d'Alençon was a famous French cabaret dancer and courtesan. Lithograph. Printed colour. Size: 560 x 360 mm Very good condition. unknown
