Ornate Knight
Théophile Roederer & Co./Champagne. 1897. Louis-Theophile Hingre.
24 ¾ x 50 5/8 in./63 x 128.5 cm
For one of the most beloved Champagne houses in France, Hingre fuses the motifs of Mucha with the poses of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and produces a work that perfectly balances lightness, strength, structure and opulence. It’s a rather fine translation of the Champagne itself into visual form. Hingre wasn’t just a graphic artist; he also worked in metal sculpture, and the sculpted guard across the woman’s midriff is a small signature to that effect.

After Liberace died in 1987, his ornate and lavishly designed mansion in Las Vegas was sold and later foreclosed and abandoned. During this time its marble floored rooms remained empty, the fireplaces were dusted in soot, the remains of fires from long talks and nights filled with emotions. Today, the mansion is no longer abandoned but a true to its idol masterpiece and event center. However, let us remember the days where we were as empty as its halls once were.
