Original Description
Jean Emile Laboureur's La Fille à Mélie (c. 1922) is a captivating example of early 20th-century modernist woodcut, blending Cubist geometry with Art Deco elegance. The monochromatic composition depicts a stylish young woman in a streamlined, angular fashion—her hat tilted at a chic angle, her figure rendered through bold, intersecting planes. Laboureur’s precise lines and rhythmic patterning evoke a sense of urban sophistication, characteristic of post-WWI Parisian modernity. Trained under Auguste Lepère and influenced by the Cubist innovations of Picasso and Braque, Laboureur carved a unique niche in printmaking, bridging fine art and commercial illustration. La Fille à Mélie exemplifies his mastery of reduced forms and decorative abstraction, cementing his reputation as a pivotal figure in the revival of woodcut as a modernist medium. Today, the work is celebrated for its crisp aesthetic and historical role in redefining graphic arts between the wars.
For a striking interior accent, La Fille à Mélie would elevate a minimalist study, mid-century lounge, or Art Deco-inspired office. Its black-and-white palette pairs effortlessly with neutral walls or rich materials like walnut wood and brushed brass. Consider framing it in a thin black lacquer frame to echo its graphic precision, and hang it at eye level in a compact space—its intimate scale (typical of Laboureur’s prints) suits vertical arrangements alongside smaller modernist works or mirrors. For tonal harmony, place it near deep emerald greens or burnt orange textiles, which offset its monochrome drama. In a corporate setting, it adds cultured flair to reception areas or executive offices, sparking conversation while radiating timeless sophistication. The print’s clean lines also balance organic textures like linen or rattan, making it a versatile choice for both contemporary and eclectic décors.
