EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Those to whom fools propound" captures the essence of Robert Browning's poem, Rabbi Ben Ezra. Illustrated by Bernard John Partridge, this colour lithograph brings to life the protagonist's journey from foolishness to disillusionment. In this scene, we witness a mesmerizing dance unfolding before our eyes. The central figure, representing the fool, is surrounded by an atmosphere of frivolity and decadence. Nudity and temptation are subtly depicted through the dancers' movements and suggestive poses. As we delve deeper into the image, a sense of despondency becomes apparent on the face of the fool. It is as if he has finally realized that his previous beliefs were misguided and empty. The music playing in the background adds another layer of melancholy to his expression. Partridge skillfully captures both poetry and despair within this single frame. Through intricate details and masterful use of color, he invites us to contemplate themes such as disillusionment, male vulnerability, and societal decadence. This print serves as a visual representation of Browning's profound exploration into human nature and self-discovery. It reminds us that sometimes it takes dancing with fools for one to truly understand oneself - even if it means facing moments of darkness along the way.
