EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photogravure print titled "L Avarice, (Jealousy) c1900-1920 (1924)", Marcel Roux takes us on a haunting journey into the depths of human emotions. The image, part of F L Leipnik's publication "A History of French Etching from the 16th Century to the Present Day", transports us to early 20th century France. The scene unfolds in an underground prison dungeon, where darkness reigns supreme. A skeletal figure stands ominously at the bottom of a flight of steps, symbolizing death itself. This macabre representation embodies jealousy - a concept that consumes and devours its victims from within. Roux's masterful technique captures every intricate detail with monochrome precision. The play between light and shadow creates an eerie atmosphere that engulfs the viewer. The artist skillfully uses lines and textures to convey a sense of depth and despair. As we contemplate this powerful artwork, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for both beauty and darkness. Jealousy becomes more than just an emotion; it transforms into a tangible force that imprisons individuals in their own minds. "L Avarice" serves as a poignant reminder that even in our most intimate spaces, jealousy can hold sway over our lives like an invisible penitentiary. Roux invites us to confront this universal struggle within ourselves while reflecting on the historical context in which it was created – a testament to his artistic genius
