Argy-Rousseau's near-unique ability to gracefully soften the starkness of Art Deco design without ever sacrificing the strength of the design is on full display in this remarkable, petite masterpiece. Argy-Rousseau's work 'Visages en Medallion' showcases a woman sporting a short bob hairstyle reminiscent of the wigs worn by ancient Egyptian women and popularized by the French Garonne (tomboys). The concept of the 'Man in the Moon' gained newfound relevance in popular culture during the early 20th century, particularly with Georges Mlis' film 'A Trip to the Moon' in 1902. This portrayal of a woman on the moon subverts the conventional 'man on the moon' myth, providing a stylish reinterpretation of this age-old legend.
