EDITORS COMMENTS
The King of Pigs, Plate No. 4 in the series The Museum of Horrors, 1900 (litho) captures a disturbing and controversial moment in history. This anti-Semitic cartoon by Jules Eugene Lenepveu depicts Emile Zola in relation to the infamous Dreyfus Affair. In this satirical drawing, Zola is portrayed as a bearded pig, symbolizing his alleged betrayal of French values and his Jewish heritage. The artist's scathing satire aims to discredit Zola's influential role as a writer and novelist during that time. The detailed engraving showcases the artist's skillful technique, while also highlighting the grotesque nature of the caricature. Surrounding Zola are elements such as excrement, maps, and portraits that further emphasize his supposed negative impact on French society. This artwork serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted anti-Semitism prevalent in Europe at the turn of the 20th century. It reflects both societal prejudices and political tensions surrounding Alfred Dreyfus' wrongful conviction for treason. While this piece may be unsettling to some viewers due to its offensive content, it remains an important historical artifact that sheds light on past injustices. It serves as a stark reminder of how art can be used to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and fuel discrimination.
