EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the art of theatrical make-up, specifically depicting the transformation of King Lear. The image is part of a series titled "Progressive Pictures" created by Cavendish Morton, an esteemed artist known for his expertise in stage make-up. The photograph offers a glimpse into the intricate process of creating characters for the theatre. Through skillful application, layers upon layers of make-up are meticulously added to bring King Lear to life on stage. Each step in this progressive series reveals the gradual evolution from a blank canvas to the regal and weathered visage that embodies Shakespeare's tragic king. Morton's self-portrait captures not only his technical mastery but also his deep understanding of character portrayal. His attention to detail ensures that every line and wrinkle tells a story, reflecting both Lear's inner turmoil and external struggles. This historical image serves as a testament to the enduring power of theatre and its ability to transport audiences into different worlds through visual storytelling. It reminds us that behind every memorable performance lies hours of dedicated work by talented artists like Morton, who strive to create unforgettable moments on stage. As we gaze at this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that even in stillness, it holds within it all the drama and emotion that unfolds during live performances – making it truly timeless.
