1938 Bowl Chased Leaping Lobster Macdonald Salad
EDITORS COMMENTS
Lobster Salad, Bon Surprise by A.K. MacDonald (1938) This vibrant and whimsical illustration, titled "Lobster Salad, Bon Surprise," is a colorful depiction of a delightful and unexpected scene by Scottish artist A.K. MacDonald. The image, created in 1938, showcases a group of elegant ladies, dressed in fashionable attire from the era, leaping out of a large, ornate salad bowl in a playful and graceful manner. The ladies' surprised expressions and outstretched arms convey a sense of excitement and joy, as if they have discovered a hidden treasure within the salad. The unexpected element of the scene is the large, red lobster that is hotly pursuing them from the depths of the bowl. The lobster's determined expression and outstretched claws add a touch of humor and intrigue to the image. The ladies' contrasting reactions to the lobster, from fear to amusement, add depth and complexity to the illustration. The historical context of this illustration is intriguing. The term "Bon Surprise" is a French culinary term that translates to "good surprise," often used to describe a dish with an unexpected element. In this context, it is likely that MacDonald intended the title to refer to the surprise of discovering the lobster in the salad. The illustration is a testament to MacDonald's artistic talent and creativity, as well as his ability to capture the essence of surprise and excitement in a single image. The use of bold colors and dynamic compositions adds to the overall charm and appeal of this timeless work of art.
