EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thought-provoking caricature about Impressionist painting, titled "Mr. Impressionist Painter". Created by Cham (Amedee Charles Henri de Noe), this engraving showcases the artist's satirical wit and sharp critique of the avant-garde movement during the Third Republic in France. In this artwork, we see a male figure representing an Impressionist painter being questioned about his artistic education. The caption humorously suggests that he learned his art at the morgue, implying that his unconventional style is akin to lifeless corpses. This clever play on words reflects society's initial disgust and rejection of Impressionism as a revolutionary form of art. The cartoon-like depiction highlights the shocked expressions on various characters' faces, symbolizing their resistance to embracing modernity in art. Cham skillfully employs satire to convey not only criticism but also fear towards these new artistic ideas. Displayed against a backdrop of historical significance, this image offers insight into the Salon des Refusés (exhibition for rejected artworks) and its role in challenging traditional norms. It serves as a reminder that even groundbreaking movements face opposition before gaining recognition. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph from eArchives Charmet allows us to appreciate Cham's talent for capturing societal sentiments through biting satire. As we delve into this intriguing piece, it prompts us to reflect upon our own perceptions of art and how it evolves over time.
