Dedication (for Lamia), 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black, white, and gray gouache print on cream wood pulp laminate board created by the talented American artist Will H. Low. This exquisite piece of art, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back to ancient Greece with its timeless beauty and classical motifs. Inspired by John Keats' poem "Lamia" this artwork pays homage to the enchanting tale of a serpent-woman who falls in love with a mortal man. Low skillfully captures the essence of this mythological story through his delicate depiction of figures and cherubs known as amorini. These angelic beings surround Lamia, adding an ethereal touch to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing his mastery over color and form. The monochromatic palette creates a sense of nostalgia while emphasizing the intricate linework that brings each character to life. It is as if time stands still within this artistic creation. This print not only celebrates ancient Greek culture but also highlights Low's deep appreciation for history and heritage. Through his unique interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson's dedication poem, he invites viewers into a world where mythology intertwines with reality. As we gaze upon "Dedication (for Lamia)" we are transported across centuries and continents – from 19th-century America to ancient Greece – experiencing both past and present simultaneously. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art that transcends time and connects us all through shared stories and emotions.
