EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature by Phil May depicts Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian playwright and director, who is hailed as one of the founders of modernism and realism in theatre. Born on March 20, 1828, Ibsen's influence on the theatrical world was profound, making him one of the most influential playwrights of the late 19th century. Ibsen's groundbreaking works challenged societal norms and tackled controversial topics such as women's rights, individual freedom, and the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. His plays, including "A Doll's House," "Hedda Gabler," and "Ghosts," were met with controversy and acclaim in equal measure. Philip William May, a renowned British caricaturist, captured Ibsen's essence in this witty and insightful illustration, created in 1895. May's skillful use of exaggerated features and humorous details bring Ibsen to life, making this caricature a testament to the playwright's enduring impact on the world of theatre. May's masterful depiction of Ibsen, with his bushy beard and intense gaze, exudes the intellectual and creative energy that defined the playwright's legacy. The Victorian era, with its emphasis on social commentary and artistic innovation, provided the perfect backdrop for Ibsen's groundbreaking works and May's brilliant caricature. This image is a must-have for any collection focused on theatre history, Norwegian culture, or the works of Henrik Ibsen. With its rich historical significance and artistic merit, this caricature is a true masterpiece.
