EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the art of theatrical make-up, specifically depicting the character Falstaff from Shakespeare's plays. The image is part of a series called "Progressive Pictures" by Cavendish Morton, an esteemed artist known for his expertise in stage make-up. In this self-portrait, Morton skillfully transforms himself into the larger-than-life figure of Falstaff. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures every nuance of the character's appearance and disguise. The intricate lines and shadows on his face bring out Falstaff's exaggerated features, emphasizing his jovial nature and larger physique. The photograph not only highlights Morton's exceptional talent but also serves as a visual guide for aspiring make-up artists or actors seeking inspiration for their own performances. It offers a glimpse into the world behind-the-scenes of theater production, where characters are brought to life through careful application of cosmetics. Dating back to 1909 when it was published in "The Art of Theatrical Make-up" this timeless image continues to captivate audiences today with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It reminds us that theatre is not just about storytelling; it is an immersive experience that relies on skilled craftsmen like Cavendish Morton to create unforgettable characters such as Falstaff.
