EDITORS COMMENTS
Flying Figure" is a captivating charcoal on cream wove paper drawing created by the British artist Alfred George Stevens in the mid-19th century. The artwork, dated around 1837/75, showcases the remarkable skill and artistic vision of Stevens, who expertly captured the dynamic and ethereal quality of human movement in this monochromatic masterpiece. The drawing depicts a young man in mid-air, defying gravity as he seems to soar above the ground. His body is contorted in a graceful and fluid pose, with his arms and legs extended outwards, creating a sense of weightlessness and freedom. The young man's intense focus and determination are evident in his clenched jaw and furrowed brow, adding depth and emotion to the image. Stevens' use of charcoal creates a striking contrast between the light and dark areas of the drawing, enhancing the sense of depth and three-dimensionality. The delicate texture of the cream wove paper adds to the overall effect, making the young man's figure appear as if it is suspended in mid-air. This drawing, titled "Flying Figure," is a testament to the artistic innovation and creativity of the 19th century. It is a rare and valuable example of the renaissance-inspired art movement that emerged during this period, characterized by a renewed interest in classical themes and techniques. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this remarkable work in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The drawing is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to new heights and challenge our perceptions of the world around us.
