EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quirky and humorous world of British satirical cartoonist, H.M. Bateman, this silhouette print from 1913 titled "Canvas Worship" invites us to take a peek into the unusual goings-on at an art exhibition. The image is filled with an intriguing crowd, their silhouettes casting long, dramatic shadows on the gallery floor. Bateman masterfully captures the essence of the art-loving public, as they gather around a single picture, seemingly in a trance-like state, paying homage to the artwork in a most unusual way. The cartoon's title, "Canvas Worship," adds a layer of humor and intrigue to the scene, as the onlookers appear to be in a state of reverence, almost as if they are worshiping the painting itself. Bateman's keen observation and wit are on full display in this charming print, which offers a delightful commentary on the art world and the human fascination with the creative works of others. This unusual silhouette print, created in 1913, is a testament to Bateman's unique artistic vision and his ability to capture the human condition in a humorous and insightful way. The print is a must-have for any art lover or collector of vintage cartoons, and is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates the quirks and foibles of the art world.
