More about this artwork
"Les amants de torquate" by Charles Martin, created in 1921, is an exquisite instance of the combination of Art Deco style and romantic expression. In this captivating illustration, the tender scene unfolds beneath a moonlit sky, cloaked in a serene ambiance. The artwork features two figures, presumably lovers, engaged in an intimate, gentle embrace against a backdrop of stylized nature. The male figure, depicted in a robe that merges with the greyscale colours of the tree and clouds, gently holds the face of the female figure, whose vibrant dress in shades of pink and purple suggests warmth and emotion.The use of geometric patterns and streamlined forms typical of Art Deco enhances the tranquil yet emotionally stirring mood of this scene. The foliage, with its sharp angular shapes, frames the couple, adding a sense of the lush, quiet solitude of their environment. The presence of a small white dog at their feet adds a quaint charm to the composition, emphasizing loyalty and companionship.
