Drunkenness, 1851
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Rambert is a captivating black and white lithograph that depicts an allegorical figure representing the destructive nature of excessive drinking. Created in the 19th century, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences associated with alcohol abuse. The lithograph showcases a man, possibly from Europe or France given the artist's heritage, who appears heavily intoxicated. His disheveled appearance and vacant expression convey his state of drunkenness. Through skillful use of pen and ink scraping techniques on cream wove paper laid down on ivory wove paper, Rambert brings forth a haunting portrayal of this societal issue. As an allegory for intoxication, "Drunkenness" symbolizes not only personal downfall but also reflects broader themes such as death and moral decay prevalent during that era. The artist's attention to detail captures the essence of despair within this solitary figure. This print can be found at the Art Institute Chicago where it serves as a testament to Rambert's artistic prowess and his ability to communicate complex concepts through visual representation. It stands as an important piece within the collection of prints and drawings at the institute. "Drunkenness, 1851" invites viewers to reflect upon their own relationship with alcohol while highlighting society's responsibility in addressing issues related to substance abuse. Charles Rambert masterfully conveys these timeless messages through his evocative depiction, making this artwork both visually striking and thought-provoking.
