About the Item
Illustration for "Le Conte de Voltaire" (1925) is an original etching realized by the French artist Henri Farge (1884-1970). Artist proof of 2° state, hand-signed on the lower right.
The state of preservation is excellent.
The artwork is representing a dynamic etching, expressed through rapid and confident strokes, a nude woman lying down with a terrified man beside him, a reminder of biblical characters Adam and Eva with a demon-like figure on the right side of both. The artwork is indicating uniquely by its features to a subject which concerned by many artists.
Henri Farge (1884-1970) is an engraver and painter. His paintings and monotypes, exhibited in June 1920 at the Devambez Gallery, are oriented towards which one of these recurring themes will emerge: the Quais de la Seine, the perspectives which are open on the outskirts of Paris, their animation restored by the movements of the beacons, their bookstores, or their petty personages on the vif (The Pont des Arts). Since 1923, Henri Farge has been part of the circle of important artists such as Pierre Brissaud, Edgar Chahine, Jean Droit, Tsugouharu Foujita and Alméry Lobel-Riche. He "was able to reveal picturesque scenes" which produced a "timing of the epochs and places that inspired them.
