EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration by Leonce Burret (1865-1915) for the cover of Le Rire, a French satirical magazine, depicts a poignant scene titled "Decouragement". The artwork, created in 1910, beautifully captures the struggles faced by artists during that era. In this thought-provoking image, we see a painter sitting amidst his daily life surrounded by symbols of poverty and despair. With a paint palette in hand and an engraving on the wall behind him, he appears lost in sadness. A broom leans against the wall nearby, suggesting domestic chores that distract from his artistic pursuits. The artist's face reflects both exhaustion and determination as he contemplates his next stroke. This portrayal highlights the harsh reality faced by many painters at the time – their passion often overshadowed by financial difficulties and societal pressures. Leonce Burret's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this evocative piece. Through skillful caricature techniques, he conveys not only the physical toll but also the emotional strain experienced by struggling artists. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of how art can reflect social issues prevalent during its creation. It encapsulates both personal struggle and broader themes such as poverty and labor exploitation within France during the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this print today, it allows us to appreciate not only Burret's talent but also serves as a testament to resilience – reminding us that even in times of discouragement, artists
