Piano and Singing
1922
Fernand Siméon captures a chic 1920s musical moment in this illustration from the famous fashion series *Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui*. One woman sits at the piano while her companion stands ready to sing, clutching a score by the avant-garde composer Darius Milhaud. The scene is a perfect snapshot of Parisian salon culture, complete with a mysterious statue and stylized floral wallpaper that screams Art Deco elegance. It's less about the music and more about the fashionable way to perform it, showing how high art and high fashion collided in the Roaring Twenties.
