EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pauvre petit ours! - Poor little bear!" by John Bauer, we are transported into a world of enchantment and empathy. Created in 1912 using watercolour and tempera on paper, the artwork measures 25x25 and is part of a private collection. The painting depicts a heartrending scene where a small brown bear, adorned with a child's crown, gazes up at us with soulful eyes. The artist skillfully captures the vulnerability and innocence of the bear, evoking an overwhelming sense of pity for its plight. Bauer's work often drew inspiration from folklore and fairy tales, evident here as he imbues the image with elements of tradition. The presence of the crown suggests that this poor little bear may be a fictional character from Swedish folklore or perhaps even from one of Bauer's own imaginative stories. What truly tugs at our heartstrings is the tender kiss planted on the bear's forehead by an unseen figure outside the frame. This gesture conveys compassion and love towards this unfortunate creature, reminding us to extend kindness to all living beings. As we delve deeper into this poignant piece, it becomes clear that Bauer intended to elicit emotions within his viewers. Through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, he invites us to reflect upon our relationship with animals in both reality and fiction. This extraordinary artwork serves as a timeless reminder that even in times when life seems unbearable for some creatures among us, there is always room for empathy
