EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print showcases the enigmatic figure of Arthur Rimbaud at the tender age of 17 in 1871. The portrait, captured by renowned artist Etienne Carjat, exudes an air of youthful innocence and introspection. Arthur Rimbaud, a French poet hailing from Charleville, Ardennes, left an indelible mark on modern literature and arts. Despite his short-lived career as a poet, he continues to inspire countless musicians and prefigure surrealism with his unique style and visionary approach to writing. In this photograph, Rimbaud's piercing gaze draws us into his world of creativity and rebellion. It is evident that even at such a young age, he possessed a profound understanding of life's complexities. His early foray into poetry began during primary school but abruptly ended before he reached the age of 21. The vibrant colours used in this rendition breathe new life into Rimbaud's image, adding depth to his persona as both an artist and an individual. As we observe him through the lens of history, we are reminded not only of his literary genius but also his significance as an emblematic figure within LGBTQ+ history. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to Rimbaud's enduring legacy—a symbol of artistic brilliance intertwined with personal struggles and societal taboos. Through Carjat's artistry and skillful composition, we are transported back in time to witness the essence of one who defied conventions while leaving an everlasting imprint on the world stage.
