EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print, titled "Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday" depicts the iconic literary characters brought to life by Alexander Fraser Sr. With dimensions of 40.5x58.5 cm, this artwork showcases a private collection's treasure. Inspired by Daniel Defoe's renowned novel published in 1719, Fraser masterfully captures the essence of Robinson Crusoe's harrowing shipwrecked journey on a deserted island. The painting portrays an atmosphere of hopelessness and despair as the protagonist is seen seated in a hammock alongside his loyal companion, Man Friday. Every detail within the composition tells a story: from the dog faithfully standing beside them to the exotic bird perched nearby, symbolizing their isolation from civilization. A sense of boredom permeates through their expressions as they long for rescue or any form of entertainment amidst their stranded existence. Fraser skillfully brings out the contrasting emotions between these two characters - one resigned to his fate while seeking solace in an open book, and another displaying visible signs of restlessness with a parrot perched upon his shoulder. As we gaze at this remarkable painting, we are reminded not only of Defoe's brilliant storytelling but also Fraser's ability to breathe life into fictional characters through artistry. This piece serves as a testament to both writers' enduring legacies and invites us to delve deeper into literature's vast realm where wonderful and monstrous characters come alive on canvas.
