1860 Bennett Characters Fictional Foxy Shadow Substance
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is a shadow portrait of the mischievous character, Foxy, from the series "Shadow and Substance" by American artist Charles H. Bennett. Created in 1860, this unique work of art showcases Bennett's exceptional skill in manipulating light and shadow to bring a three-dimensional quality to his subjects. Foxy, depicted here as a red fox, is a fictional character from the world of Hickory P. Nutt Esq. of Connecticut, U.S. The "Shadow and Substance" series was a groundbreaking body of work that challenged the traditional boundaries of portrait art. Instead of using paint or other conventional mediums, Bennett employed the simple yet effective technique of creating images using the interplay of light and shadow. Each portrait in the series showcases a different character, all rendered in exquisite detail and depth. Foxy, with his cunning expression and sly grin, is a perfect example of Bennett's ability to capture the essence of a character through the use of shadows. The intricately detailed shading on Foxy's fur, combined with the subtle gradations of light and dark, create a sense of depth and texture that is truly remarkable. This historical illustration is a testament to Bennett's artistic vision and his innovative approach to portraiture. Foxy's shadow portrait invites us to look beyond the surface and delve deeper into the world of these fascinating fictional characters. This work of art is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of illustration, shadow art, or simply the art of storytelling through images.
