EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Schneewittchen (litho)" by Johanna Beckmann showcases a mesmerizing illustration for the book "Deutsche Marchen". The lithograph, dating back to 1920, is part of a private collection and depicts the well-known fairy tale character Snow White. The artist's use of silhouettes adds depth and mystery to the image, drawing viewers into this enchanting world of children's literature. However, upon closer inspection, one can discern that there is more than meets the eye in this depiction. The presence of dwarfs in the illustration hints at themes of deformity and illness. It serves as a reminder that even within tales filled with magic and wonder, characters may face physical challenges or maladies. This portrayal invites contemplation on topics such as health, medicine, and our perception of beauty. Moreover, references to Asklepios - the Greek god associated with healing - suggest an exploration of medical science within this fairy tale context. The inclusion of infectious diseases like flu or sexually transmitted diseases further emphasizes how these ailments affect individuals regardless of their fantastical surroundings. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork not only captivates us visually but also encourages reflection on deeper societal issues related to physical health and medical care.
