EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Hypnotist". Honore Daumier takes us on a journey into the mysterious world of hypnotism. The image, part of a private collection, showcases Daumier's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of human emotions and experiences. Set against a dark backdrop, the scene depicts a doctor or hypnotist in an intense moment of concentration. His piercing gaze is fixed upon his subject, who appears to be under his spell. The artist skillfully portrays the power dynamics at play between these two figures, as the subject leans back in surrender while the doctor exudes an air of control. This artwork was created as an illustration for Howard W Haggard's book "Devils, Drugs and Doctors" published in 1929. It serves as a visual representation of one aspect explored within its pages - hypnotism. Through this print, Daumier invites viewers to contemplate the mysteries surrounding medical practices throughout history. "The Hypnotist" not only captures our attention with its dramatic composition but also prompts us to reflect on our own understanding of medicine and health. As we delve into this historical piece, we are reminded that doctors have long been fascinated by unconventional methods such as hypnosis to explore new frontiers in healing. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder without mentioning any commercial use restrictions or affiliations with companies. Instead, they invite us to appreciate Daumier's masterful depiction and ponder upon humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge
