Text by Mac-Orlan: "Le titre est de ceux qui invitent à entrer. Derrière cette fragile barrière d'une couverture en carton toute une humanité aimable et galante se divertit selon les rythmes éternels de 'amour et du libertinage qui demeure encore la garantie de l'amour. A ceux qui suivent le mouvement artistique contemporain, il ne sera pas difficile de mettre à sa place la signature du jeune maître qui créa ces délicieuses figures de femme. Il est encore nécessaire que l'art se dérobe sous le chaste manteau pour reproduire certains gestes parmi les plus harmonieux et les plus délicats de la vie. La pensée secrète peut être interdite au public, mais il ne peut être question d'anéantir un témoignage de goût, parmi les plus merveilleux, d'une époque que l’érotisme domine, parce que c'est là une grande joie de vivre et que la joie de vivre est la rançon du sang versé. Dans ces jolis croquis, qui ne diminuent en rien la grâce et la pudeur de la femme, 'artiste a créé un document précieux. Il faut remercier le hasard qui en assemble les éléments sous une forme séduisante et qui permettra à quelques rares privilégiés d'en apprécier l'émouvante sensibilité." Google Translation: The title is one of those that invites you to enter. Behind this fragile barrier of a cardboard cover, a whole kind and gallant humanity are entertained according to the eternal rhythms of love and libertinage that remain the guarantee of love. For those who follow the contemporary artistic movement, it will not be challenging to put in its place the signature of the young master who created these delicious female figures. It is still necessary for art to hide under the chaste cloak to reproduce some of the most harmonious and delicate gestures of life. Secret thoughts can be forbidden to the public. Still, there can be no question of destroying a testimony of taste, among the most marvellous, of an era dominated by eroticism because it is a great joy of living, and the joy of living is the ransom of bloodshed. In these pretty sketches, which in no way diminish the grace and modesty of women, the artist has created a precious document. We must thank Chance for assembling the elements in an attractive form and allowing a few privileged people to appreciate its moving sensitivity Contributors: Marcel Vertès [Marcell Vértes] (Jewish-Hungarian-French, 1895 – 1961) Pierre Mac Orlan, a.k.a.
