EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Solier. Auguste, an 18-year-old French artist born on March 3rd, 1875 in Cemery-la-Ville. The image is a product of Alphonse Bertillon's pioneering anthropometric techniques, which aimed to identify individuals based on physical measurements. Solier's occupation as a designer is evident in his confident gaze and poised demeanor. However, what sets him apart from conventional artists is his affiliation with anarchism, revealed by the inscription "Anarchist" beneath his name. This political association adds depth to the portrait, hinting at a rebellious spirit that defied societal norms during the late 19th century. The mugshot-like composition speaks volumes about Bertillon's scientific approach to criminal identification and law enforcement. Through meticulous measurement and documentation of physical attributes like facial features and body proportions, he sought to create a standardized system for identifying criminals. As we delve into this photograph from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only Solier's individuality but also the intersection between artistry and science during this era. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly rigid categorizations such as occupation or politics, there exists room for personal expression and defiance against established conventions.
