Charles Hermans - Bal Masque - 1880

Exhibit No. 520:

Bal Masqué

Charles Hermans

Location: Lost in some overstuffed salon, Paris, France

Interpretation: In our dimension, this isn’t a joyous celebration of masquerade, it’s a fire safety poster warning against the dangers of packing too many wigs into a ballroom illuminated by candles and limelight. In your dimension, it’s a painting of decadence and the sorts of decisions that are regrettable by dawn. Have you noticed the identical twins who are unmasked? Have you felt the existential dread of realizing that you still cannot identify which is which? In T-Shirt form, this is a great fit for people who thrive on mystery, scandals, secrets, and whatever else those theatre kids do when they’re not spontaneously breaking out into musical numbers. Go on, announce that you are the main character to the other people in Barnes & Noble.

Bal Masqué – Charles Hermans – The T-Shirt

$35.00

Composition: 100% cotton (yes, the soft kind) made to order – because mass production is for the unimaginative.
Technique: All-over print, vibrant enough to make your other shirts jealous.
Provenance: Designed by an independent artist who drinks too much tea.
Condition Report: Comfortable fit, round neck, suitable for both daily wear and dramatic exits.
Notes: Wearing this may not grant you entry to high-society balls, but it will make strangers wonder if you’re hiding a scandal.
