Rendered in a full-length format popular in high society, Jeanne pokes fun at the more graceful figures typically seen in European and American paintings. Dressed and accessorized in garments from Maurer’s costume trunk, she dons a dramatic feather boa and large straw hat decorated with a stuffed white bird. Jeanne’s over-the-shoulder glance adds to her unconventional attitude and the cigarette in her hand underscores her daring disposition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEsta pintura de Alfred Maurer de la modelo francesa Jeanne Blazy cuestionó el retrato tradicional y las convenciones sociales de la época. Representada en un formato de longitud total, popular en la alta sociedad, Jeanne se burla de las figuras mas refinadas típicamente vistas en las pinturas europeas y americanas. Vestida y decorada con prendas del baúl de disfraces de Maurer, Jeanne luce una dramática boa de plumas y un gran sombrero de paja decorado con un pájaro blanco relleno. La mirada de Jeanne, sobre el hombro, le suma a su actitud poco convencional y el cigarrillo en la mano subraya su disposición atrevida.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"ART AUTHORITY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40299719491674,"sku":"19491674","price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/3940\/3610\/files\/JEANNE.png?v=1706031641"},{"product_id":"postcard-cafe-scene","title":"CAFÉ SCENE POSTCARD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlfred Maurer was an American painter who studied at the National Academy of Design, New York, in 1884 and briefly at the Académie Julian, Paris, during 1897. He received critical success with academic paintings of single female figures in interiors and genre scenes of café society, which reflected the influence of the work of James Abbott McNeill Whistler and William Merritt Chase, for example At the Café (c. 1905; St Petersburg, Hermitage). His long residence in Paris from 1897, his participation in various independent salons and his association with Leo and Gertrude Stein led to his interest in avant-garde art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4 in x 6 in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ART AUTHORITY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40299719524442,"sku":"19524442","price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/3940\/3610\/files\/cafescene.png?v=1706030460"},{"product_id":"postcard-a-french-music-hall","title":"A FRENCH MUSIC HALL POSTCARD","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy cropping the view of the orchestra pit and the stage, Everett Shinn collapses the distance between the audience and the show, placing the viewer in the audience, where a fellow spectator turns to look at us.
