EDITORS COMMENTS
Mutter Nacht" (Mother Night) is a captivating and enigmatic artwork by the German Symbolist artist Fidus, created around the 1910s. This postcard-sized print, now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the artist's mastery of the Symbolist style, with its rich symbolism and evocative imagery. At the heart of this composition lies the personification of the night, depicted as a voluptuous and nurturing mother figure. With long, flowing blonde hair that cascades down her back, she cradles the night sky in her arms, her naked body embracing the darkness as if it were a cherished child. The stars twinkle like diamonds in her hair, and her eyes are closed in a peaceful, contented expression. The image is imbued with a sense of eroticism and sensuality, as the mother figure holds the night tightly and close, enveloping it in a loving embrace. The use of muted, earthy tones and the delicate, intricate styling of the figure and the stars add to the dreamlike quality of the artwork. Fidus, born as Hans Richter, was a prominent figure in the German art scene during the early 20th century, and his works often explored the themes of love, nature, and the supernatural. "Mutter Nacht" is a prime example of his unique style, which blended elements of Art Nouveau and Symbolism to create a distinctive and hauntingly beautiful visual language. This print, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, is a must-have for any art lover or collector of Symbolist art. Framed and displayed in a room bathed in soft, warm lighting, it is sure to capture the imagination and inspire wonder and contemplation in all who behold it.
