CARRE Jean-Pierre
A painter from Bordeaux, trained under Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant, was the author of numerous nudes, portraits, and interiors exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, of which he was a member.
Many of his works can be found at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, including self-portraits.
Our drawing, dated 1925, represents the archetype of the young woman with an Art Deco hairstyle: short, dark hair cut in a boyish bob with a center part. She stands facing the viewer, her green or brown eyes, outlined in black, fixed on the viewer, while her small mouth, highlighted with red, adds a touch of color.
In the Roaring Twenties, she embodied the contemporary woman: active, independent, with liberated morals, defying convention. For the first time, she embraced going out, dancing, smoking, traveling, driving, and living together without being married.
