EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portrait of a 'gummy' young man has outrageous elegance" showcases the unique and eccentric style of a dandy from the late 19th century. The caricature, created by B. Moloch in 1882, humorously exaggerates the gentleman's features and fashion choices. The young man in the portrait exudes confidence with his impeccable attire and accessories. Sporting a monocle, he gazes at the viewer with an air of sophistication while holding a cigar between his fingers. His choice of eyewear and hat adds to his flamboyant persona, emphasizing his desire to stand out from the crowd. The artist's use of vibrant colors brings life to this caricature, highlighting every detail meticulously drawn by Moloch. The exaggerated facial expression gives off an aura of playfulness mixed with arrogance, inviting viewers to both admire and mock this extravagant character. This artwork was featured in "Le Trombinoscope" a publication known for its satirical depictions of notable figures during that era. It serves as a reminder that even in high society circles, individuals were not immune to being ridiculed or parodied. Preserved within a private collection today, this print offers us a glimpse into the past where fashion statements were bold and boundaries were pushed. It reminds us that self-expression can take many forms throughout history, leaving behind lasting impressions on art enthusiasts who appreciate both beauty and humor intertwined within one frame.
