EDITORS COMMENTS
Art Deco Illustration by Pearl Forbes MacEwen, Circa 1930 This Art Deco illustration, titled "Remembrance," is a stunning work of art created by Canadian artist Pearl Forbes MacEwen around 1930. The image features a graceful and enigmatic woman, dressed in an elegant gown, holding a pair of lanterns aloft. The lanterns, with their intricately designed shades, cast a warm and inviting glow around her, as if illuminating the path ahead. The woman's expression is one of quiet contemplation, her eyes gazing off into the distance, lost in thought. Her posture is regal and confident, as if she is leading the way through the unknown. The intricate details of her gown, with its flowing lines and geometric patterns, are reminiscent of the Art Deco style, which was popular during the 1920s and 1930s. The use of lanterns in the illustration adds an element of mystery and intrigue. Lanterns are often associated with the past, with their traditional design and use of oil or wax for light. In this context, they may represent a connection to the past, or a reminder of the past's enduring beauty and wisdom. The muted color palette of the illustration, with its soft blues and earthy browns, adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing. The overall effect is one of beauty, serenity, and a quiet sense of hope. This illustration is a testament to Pearl Forbes MacEwen's artistic talent and her ability to capture the essence of the human experience in a visually stunning and thought-provoking way.
