Original Description
The captivating Femme à l'étole noire by Charles Gesmar (often misattributed as "Carl") is a striking Art Deco portrait that embodies the glamour and sophistication of 1920s Paris. With bold, sweeping lines and a restrained yet dramatic color palette, Gesmar masterfully captures a modern woman draped in a black stole - her poised elegance contrasted against a muted background that amplifies the graphic intensity of her silhouette. Emerging from his work as a prolific poster artist and costume designer for icons like Mistinguett, this painting reflects Gesmar's signature blend of theatricality and refined simplicity. Though less widely known than contemporaries like Tamara de Lempicka, his work represents an important bridge between commercial illustration and fine art in the Art Deco movement, particularly in capturing the era's liberated feminine ideal through stylized yet emotionally charged portraiture.
For interior styling, Femme à l'étole noire commands attention best in spaces with clean architectural lines - consider a minimalist office lounge or a salon-style living room with charcoal velvet furnishings. Its monochrome dominance pairs beautifully with brass accents and lacquered ebony furniture, while the painting's typical 24x36 inch dimensions suit medium-sized walls above consoles or between shelving units. In corporate settings, position it as a focal point in executive areas alongside geometric light fixtures to reinforce the Art Deco connection, or soften its boldness in bedrooms by layering dove gray textiles and spherical paper lamps. The work's vertical tension suggests hanging at eye level (57-60 inches from floor to center) to maximize its elongating effect, while strategic spotlighting will enhance the stole's sculptural folds. For color continuity, introduce small quantities of the painting's subtle peach undertones in throw pillows or ceramic vases.
