Last Tuesday the members of EPONA discussed this exhibition, dressed in the style of JPG using pieces of their own, women as well as men. There were inspiring creations Points of discussion among others were whether the word “ENFANT TERRIBLE” is appropriate for this artist, and if the classification of his art as SURREALISM is correct.

Also mentioned were the similarities between the design of his perfume flasks and those of Elsa Schiaparelli designed in the 30-ties of last century. The similarity is striking, but those of JPG have more pointed glass breasts. Enlarge the image to see that the 3 most left flasks are Schiaparelli’s: 2 Shocking of Schiaparelli and in the middle of the 3: ZUT.

PERFUME FLASKS BY ELSA SCHIAPARELLI AND BY JEAN PAUL GAULTIER.

Especially for the EPONA member presently in Mexico, who sent an image of her with two hats on top of each other, the extravagant hat by Schiaparelli is shown here.
