Le Rire rouge, Satirique en N&B, 1918_12_28 - The Butterflies Hunters
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a satirical engraving by Lucien Metivet from 1918. Titled "The Butterflies Hunters" this artwork is a powerful allegory that speaks volumes about the political and social climate of its time. Intriguingly, the image depicts gentlemen socialentomologists with bags of mischief sewn with red thread. These men symbolize those in power who manipulate and control society for their own gain. However, despite their cunning efforts to capture the butterfly - representing freedom or victory - it manages to escape their grasp. As an engraving created during World War I, this piece also carries deeper meanings related to international relations. It subtly references America's involvement in the war as well as France's struggle for victory. The artist cleverly incorporates elements such as Chamberlain Joe Joseph and various symbols associated with both countries. Metivet's skillful illustration not only highlights the futility of hunting butterflies but also serves as a critique on politics, war, and socialism. Through animalization and symbolism, he exposes the flaws within society while urging viewers to question authority. This thought-provoking artwork is a testament to Metivet's talent as an illustrator and his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. Its timeless message continues to resonate today, reminding us of the importance of freedom and vigilance against manipulation in our own societies.
