Laure Prouvost’s wry print It calms us both 1, a diptych of two etchings in an edition of 10, presents a lighthearted duo of imagery and descriptive text. To the right, a pregnant woman’s figure is outlined—the loose, multiple lines demarcating her arms suggest fast, gestural movement—as her hands grasp hotly desired banned substances: a glass of wine and a lit cigarette. The bold text to the left, meanwhile, offers the explanation, “It calms us both,” a sentiment also expressed by the nonchalant happy face on the woman’s belly. Overall, Prouvost presents here a print that is at once conceptually sophisticated, humorous, and perhaps, for the mother-to-be, relatable.
