Tomorrow the @A24 Screening Room are doing double-feature of Joanna Hogg's #TheSouvenir Parts I & II.
You can read @FionaUnderhill's ★★★★★ reviews for both films below 👇
#TheSouvenir, painted c.1775-80 by iconic French artist #JeanHonoréFragonard, depicts a young girl carving an initial into the bark of a tree.
Only 25cm tall, the scale and careful technique show Fragonard echoing the contemporary taste for Dutch #17thcentury cabinet paintings.
French artist #JeanHonoréFragonard died #onthisday 1806.
#TheSouvenir, dated c.1775-80, depicts a young girl carving an initial into a tree. The intimate composition can be seen as a celebration of female creativity in an era when women painters were starting to gain prominence.
