Bateman Caricatures Chest Gentleman Importance Important Rich Swollen Wealth Wealthy 1927


EDITORS COMMENTS
Great" is a classic caricature by the renowned British satirical artist H.M. Bateman, created in 1927. The image captures the essence of a self-important gentleman of the time, exuding an air of wealth and chest-thumping arrogance. Dressed in an elegant evening suit, complete with a white bow tie and a top hat resting on a plush chair, the man smokes a cigarette with an air of nonchalant superiority. His expansive chest, swollen with pride and self-importance, is puffed out even further by the exaggerated lapels of his coat. Bateman's masterful use of exaggeration and satire highlights the absurdity of the man's inflated sense of importance. The caricature is a brilliant commentary on the excesses and vanities of the wealthy classes of the era. The man's self-satisfied expression and the luxurious surroundings of the room only serve to underscore his self-importance. The cartoon, with its intricate details and vivid colors, is a testament to Bateman's exceptional artistic skill. The use of bold lines and exaggerated features adds to the humor and satire of the piece. The image is a timeless representation of the human condition, and continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a wry commentary on the human obsession with wealth, status, and self-importance. Bateman's "Great" is a prime example of the rich tradition of British satirical art, and a must-have for any collection of classic cartoons and caricatures. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a high-quality reproduction of the original artwork, allowing collectors and enthusiasts to enjoy the intricacies and nuances of Bateman's masterful creation.
