EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Un Morceau de Journal, une Enveloppe et une Mouche" takes us back to the 19th century in Paris. Created by Henri-Charles Guerard, this etching and drypoint artwork is part of the renowned "DAner Dentu" series. The image showcases a carefully arranged composition featuring a torn piece of newspaper, an envelope, and an unexpected visitor - a fly. These objects were used as invitations for Edouard Dentu's exclusive gatherings that attracted the literary and artistic elite of the time. Measuring 11.9 x 15.7 cm (plate) and 13.2 x 17 cm (sheet), this print captures intricate details with precision. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the dark tones and textures of paper. As we observe this still life arrangement, our imagination wanders into a world where secret names are listed on torn pieces of paper, stamps hold hidden meanings, and instructions guide guests towards an evening filled with intellectual discussions at Dentu's cabaret. Acquired by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts from The William M. Ladd Collection as a gift from Herschel V. Jones in 1916, this French masterpiece continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its graphic beauty and historical significance.
