EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Eastern Proverb: A loaded gun frightens one man; an unloaded one, two" by Rene Bull, takes us on a journey into the depths of Eastern wisdom. The image showcases a beautifully detailed illustration for one of a set of cigarette cards featuring Eastern Proverbs. In this thought-provoking scene, we see a man holding a gun with visible trepidation. His face reflects fear and uncertainty as he gazes at the weapon in his hands. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is the presence of another figure standing behind him. This second individual appears calm and composed despite being confronted with an identical firearm. The proverb depicted here originates from Persian culture and holds profound significance. It reminds us that power lies not solely in physical strength but also in perception and mindset. A loaded gun may intimidate only one person while leaving others unaffected; however, when unloaded, it has the potential to evoke fear within multiple individuals. Bull's masterful use of color brings life to this historical piece, transporting viewers back to early 20th-century times when these cigarette cards were published by Churchman. As we contemplate this artwork today, it serves as both an educational tool and a reminder that our perceptions shape our reality. This print from Bridgeman Images captures the essence of Eastern proverbs - their timeless relevance transcending cultural boundaries - inviting us to delve deeper into their wisdom and gain new perspectives on life's complexities.
