The artwork entitled “Advertisement for ‘Norine'” was created by René Magritte around 1925 in Brussels, Belgium. This piece is part of the Art Deco movement and belongs to the advertisement genre. It belongs to a series of advertisements for “Norine”.
The artwork features a sophisticated and modern portrayal typical of the Art Deco style, emphasizing sleek lines and a minimalist aesthetic. One part of the artwork showcases a figure dressed in a long, elegant, dark dress contrasting against the lighter components of the artwork. The figure next to it appears to be conversing or interacting in a deliberately abstract composition. The geometric elements and the interplay of light and shadow underscore the stylish and fashionable narrative that the advertisement seeks to convey. Notably, the inscription at the bottom, written in French, promotes a particular dress model, emphasizing the piece’s commercial purpose.
