Repose (Ruhe), 1878/1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by Max Klinger, a renowned German artist of the 19th century. This intriguing piece can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, showcasing Klinger's mastery of art nouveau style. The print depicts a serene scene where nature intertwines with human elements. A woman dressed in an exquisite patterned dress lies peacefully amidst a bed of flowers and plants. Her delicate gloves suggest elegance and refinement, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. What sets this artwork apart is the unexpected presence of a mysterious monster lurking behind the woman. Its grotesque features contrast sharply with the beauty surrounding it, creating an enigmatic atmosphere that invites interpretation. Klinger's use of chine collé technique adds depth and texture to the etching, enhancing its visual impact. The intricate details on both clothing and flora demonstrate his meticulous attention to craftsmanship. "Repose (Ruhe)" captures a moment frozen in time—a harmonious blend between humanity and nature disrupted by an unsettling presence. It challenges viewers to reflect on themes such as duality, hidden desires, or even societal constraints. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, allow yourself to delve into Klinger's artistic world—a realm where beauty coexists with darkness—and let your imagination unravel its secrets.
