The title refers to the women of Thrace, who play a violent role in the myth of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Orpheus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orpheus<\/a>. According to the story, Orpheus, after the death of his wife <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eurydice\">Eurydice<\/a>, was attacked and killed by Thracian women or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maenad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maenads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"826\">Villon, however, does not present a literally developed mythological scene. The image remains fragmentary: at left stands a dark figure, in the centre is a figure on her knees, and at right a woman appears to fall backwards. The relationship between the figures is deliberately left open, but their poses suggest threat, disruption and physical tension.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"1176\">The etching belongs to the same experimental period as <a href=\"https:\/\/inter-antiquariaat.nl\/en\/antiques\/miscellaneous\/miscellaneous-after-1880\/jacques-villon-laide-gracieuse-1907\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"901\">L\u2019aide gracieuse<\/em><\/a>. The figures are not firmly outlined, but built up from short, free hatching, some of which continues into the background. As a result, the scene is not presented as a finished narrative, but as a moving image in which line, posture and spatial effect play the leading role.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1649\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Jacques Villon (1875\u20131963), born Gaston Duchamp and the elder brother of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marcel_Duchamp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcel Duchamp<\/a>, would in the years after 1907 develop into one of the important graphic artists within French <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cubism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cubism<\/a>. <em data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1391\">Les Femmes de Thrace<\/em> is therefore of interest as an early transitional print: the subject is still recognisable, but the loose hatching, sharper diagonals and interweaving of figures and background already point ahead to the avant-garde visual language of his later Cubist work.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 750,-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JACQUES VILLON AND THE MYTH OF ORPHEUS \u201cLes Femmes de Thrace\u201d [The Women of Thrace], etching made by Jacques Villon in 1907.
