Tote bag "La Méduse", a tote bag paying homage to Guillaume Apollinaire’s Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

This "La Méduse" Tote bag is taken from Apollinaire’s Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

The Medusa is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The Medusa, with its menacing tentacles and petrifying gaze, symbolizes the power of destructive beauty. Apollinaire, by exploring the mythological nature of this creature, invites us to reflect on the dualities of life: attraction and repulsion, gentleness and cruelty. This tote bag, inspired by this image, highlights the fascination of the imagination and the power of symbols.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the Medusa with sinuous lines and fluid shapes, capturing her majestic yet frightening movement. The illustration conveys the unsettling beauty of this mythological creature while evoking her inevitably destructive nature. This bag, combining poetry and graphic art, becomes a reflection on the beauty and power of imaginary creatures.

Carry this bag to express the power of imagination and the strength of symbols. This tote bag is ideal for those who appreciate the elegance of mythological art and the allure of mystery. It thus becomes a tribute to the complex and captivating beauty of Medusa.

Text of the poem:

Jellyfish, unfortunate heads
With purple hair
You enjoy storms,
And I like it as much as you do.
