EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "Avarice" we are transported to the late 19th or early 20th century, where French educational cards on graphology were used to analyze handwriting and character traits. The image showcases a scene filled with symbolism that represents the vice of greed and stinginess. The central focus is on a figure holding several bags of money tightly in their hands, embodying the concept of hoarding wealth. Their face reveals an expression of meanness, emphasizing their insatiable desire for more. A candle flickers nearby, shedding light on their character flaws as they prioritize material gain over generosity. Through the lens of graphology, this artwork delves into the analysis of handwriting as a reflection of one's personality. It serves as a cautionary reminder about the consequences of succumbing to avarice and its detrimental impact on both individuals and society at large. This thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with money and how it influences our behavior. It serves as a timeless reminder that true wealth lies not in accumulating possessions but in cultivating compassion and generosity towards others.
