EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph print, titled "But It is the Heart That Beats Too Quickly," captures the essence of love and anxiety in a single image. Created by Maurice Denis in 1898 and published in 1899, this piece is a true representation of the artistic movement of Les Nabis.
The young woman depicted in the print sits fainting, her heart beating too quickly with worry and emotion. The pastel colors of yellow, green, pink, and blue create a sense of fragility and vulnerability that is palpable to the viewer.
Denis's use of lithography brings out the delicate details of the woman's portrait, emphasizing her inner turmoil and emotional state. The soft light ivory wove paper adds to the overall dreamlike quality of the scene.
As one gazes upon this artwork, they can't help but feel drawn into the world of love and illness that Denis has masterfully captured. The window behind the woman hints at an unseen world beyond her immediate surroundings, adding depth to her story.
Overall, "But It is the Heart That Beats Too Quickly" is a powerful depiction of human emotion and fragility that resonates with viewers even over a century later. Maurice Denis's talent shines through in this beautiful piece from Heritage Images.
