Subject of this etching by James Abbott McNeill Whistler is Bibi Lalouette, the son of the owner of the Parisian restaurant where the artist used to dine, in rue Dauphine. The child is shown in profile, sitting on a bed and wearing a smock. Characteristic of this delicate etching is a perfect combination of the formal elegance of the lines with an intensely introspective atmosphere. Whistler experimented with etchings in 1858 in London and continued to do so, while also trying out other engraving techniques in Paris in the following years. In the French capital, the artist focused on children as his prefered subjects, as shown in this work. Whistler moved to Europe in his childhood. He may be considered one of the most interesting exponents of European art of 19th century.

- Three studies of Bloom Richard Hamilton James Joyce Ulysses illustration printBy Richard HamiltonLocated in New York, NYRichard Hamilton began studying James Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) during his national service in 1947. Hamilton was inspired by the idea of illustrating Joyce’s complex, experimental novel in and began making sketches the following year, only to put the project to one side in 1950, with no publisher willing to front the exorbitant cost of resetting the novel for illustrations. It was not until 1981 that he made the decision to create one illustration for each of the novel’s eighteen chapters, and a nineteenth image – a portrait of one of the novel’s main protagonists, Leopold Bloom – destined as a frontispiece. He conceived these images as large intaglio...Category
