EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Little Red Man from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" takes us back to the 19th century France. Created by Louis-Henri Breviere Cesar-Auguste Hebert, this wood engraving showcases a haunting scene that evokes fear and alarm. In the image, we see a terrified woman sitting on a chair, her face filled with fright as she is terrorized by an evil-looking imp. This demon-like creature, known as the Little Red Man, appears mischievous and cruel in nature. With its menacing gaze and eerie presence, it seems to be enjoying frightening the helpless female figure. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable - every line etched into the wood brings out the intensity of emotions portrayed in this artwork. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing the overall sense of unease. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with both darkness and vulnerability. It captures a moment frozen in time when supernatural beings were believed to roam freely among ordinary people. As we contemplate this intriguing artwork, we are reminded that even within art there lies an exploration of our deepest fears and anxieties. It invites us to reflect on our own experiences with fear while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind this chilling masterpiece from centuries past.
