Original Description
Georges Goursat, known as Sem, captures the exhilarating energy of Belle Époque Parisian high society in his vibrant illustrations Après La Course and L'Heureux Vainqueur. These works typify Sem's signature style—witty, fluid linework paired with bold watercolor washes that exaggerate fashionable silhouettes with almost caricatural elegance. Created in the early 1900s, they epitomize the artist’s obsession with horse races and the decadent social rituals around them, where parasols flutter and top hats tilt rakishly. Sem’s work bridged journalistic satire and fine art, influencing Toulouse-Lautrec while documenting the era’s elite with a blade-sharp yet affectionate humor. Today, these pieces are prized as historical snapshots of Paris’s golden age, their playful sophistication embodying Art Nouveau’s love for movement and line.
For interiors, Sem’s racing scenes bring dynamic charm to traditional or eclectic spaces. Ideal above a leather Chesterfield sofa or in a study with walnut bookshelves, their elongated vertical formats (often 30x40 cm reproductions) suit narrow walls. Frame them in gilded bamboo or black lacquer to echo the era’s glamour. Pair the artworks’ dominant hues—soft pistachio greens and creamy beiges—with velvet cushions or a mohair throw for cohesion. In offices, they inject personality when hung near modern desks, their kinetic energy balancing minimalist furniture. For maximum impact, group both pieces symmetrically with 5-inch spacing, letting Sem’s whimsical figures become conversation starters about art, history, and the thrill of the race.
