I was sorry I was out when you looked in
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and slightly sinister image captured in this colour lithograph from the 20th century. The scene depicts a man hiding from an unexpected visitor, armed with a gun. The postcard-style composition adds to the charm of this satirical drawing, signed by the artist as "HIZ."
The artwork plays on themes of absence and mischief, as the man evades detection by his uninvited guest. The use of humour and satire adds depth to the narrative, hinting at criminal undertones with references to thieves, pickpockets, and robbers.
The setting of a bedroom in a townhouse further enhances the sense of intrigue and mystery surrounding this scene. The vibrant colours bring life to the illustration, highlighting every detail from the gun barrel pointed menacingly towards the viewer to the subtle expression on the man's face.
Overall, "I was sorry I was out when you looked in" is a captivating piece that invites viewers to ponder its underlying message while enjoying its playful tone. It serves as a reminder that art can be both thought-provoking and entertaining, leaving us with more questions than answers about what truly lies beneath its surface.
