"Les Maisons Closes, Illustration Pour L'inflation Sentimentale, circa 1920" is a notable work by the French artist Chas-Laborde, whose full name was Charles Laborde. Chas-Laborde was an influential illustrator and caricaturist, active during the early 20th century, known for his keen observations of social and cultural life in France and beyond. His works often captured the essence of the interwar period with a blend of humor, satire, and a touch of melancholy.

This particular illustration, "Les Maisons Closes," which translates to "The Closed Houses," is a poignant reflection on the theme of sentimentality and its inflation, a concept that might be interpreted as the commodification or overvaluation of emotions in the context of the time. The term "maisons closes" also refers to brothels, which were legal and regulated in France until 1946, adding another layer of social commentary to the piece. The artwork is believed to have been created around 1920, a period marked by significant social and economic upheaval in the aftermath of World War I.

Chas-Laborde's style is characterized by its fluid lines, expressive characters, and a certain whimsical quality that belies the often serious subjects he tackled. His illustrations were not merely decorative but served as incisive critiques of contemporary society. In "Les Maisons Closes," he likely explores themes of love, desire, and the transactional nature of relationships, set against the backdrop of a society grappling with the aftermath of war and the rapid changes of the modern age.

The illustration is part of a larger body of work that Chas-Laborde produced during his career, which includes contributions to various publications and books. His ability to blend artistry with social commentary has earned him a lasting place in the annals of French art and illustration.
