EDITORS COMMENTS
A Little Offensive" is a captivating and whimsical artwork by the renowned New Zealand artist, Edmund Blampied, created in 1916. This charming print depicts a woman in an elegant evening gown, her expression a delightful blend of surprise and amusement, as she encounters an unexpected interruption from an enamored cupid. The mischievous cherub, with a playful grin, reaches out to rip the hem of her gown, leaving a "ripping" result that adds a touch of the unexpected to the romantic scene. The woman's dress, with its flowing lines and intricate beadwork, is a testament to the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The intricate detailing and delicate fabrics were popular choices for evening wear during this period, as women sought to make a statement with their sophisticated and elegant attire. Blampied's use of color and composition in "A Little Offensive" adds to the overall charm of the piece. The rich hues and bold brushstrokes bring the scene to life, while the asymmetrical placement of the figures creates a sense of movement and energy. This print is a delightful reminder of the enduring power of love and the unexpected twists and turns that life can bring. The playful interaction between the woman and cupid invites the viewer to imagine the story behind the moment captured in the artwork. As a historical piece, "A Little Offensive" offers a glimpse into the fashion and art of the early 1900s. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of romance and the enduring power of art to capture the human experience.
