EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Un Gueux, 1899" by Edgar Chahine takes us back in time to the late 19th century. This mesmerizing piece of art, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, showcases Chahine's mastery as an engraver. Measuring at 8 11/16 x 6 3/8 inches (22.07 x 16.19 cm), this delicate plate captures the essence of a beggar with remarkable precision and detail. The subject's weathered face tells a story of hardship and struggle, evoking empathy from viewers who gaze upon it. Chahine's skillful technique is evident in every stroke and line etched on the plate. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing its emotional impact. As we examine this artwork closely, we can almost feel the texture of the beggar's tattered clothing and sense his weary demeanor. This particular print belongs to The William M. Ladd Collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, gifted by Herschel V. Jones in 1916. It serves as a testament to Chahine's talent as well as a reminder of our shared humanity across time and space. As we contemplate "Un Gueux" let us reflect on our own privilege while acknowledging those less fortunate among us - for art has always had the power to inspire compassion and provoke introspection about our place in society.
