EDITORS COMMENTS
by Casavant is a captivating print that encapsulates the essence of envy and jealousy in early 20th-century America. The artist skillfully portrays the contrasting emotions through the use of color, fashion, and metaphor. In this image, we see a woman dressed in plain attire standing next to a glamorous lady adorned in fashionable clothing and an exquisite hat. The stark contrast between their appearances immediately catches our attention. The green-eyed monster lurks behind them, symbolizing envy and covetousness. The dowdy woman's expression reveals her longing for the glamour and beauty possessed by her counterpart. Her eyes are filled with both desire and resentment as she gazes at what she lacks. Meanwhile, the glamorous lady exudes confidence while casting a subtle glance towards her envious companion. Casavant's artwork serves as a powerful reminder of how societal expectations can breed feelings of inadequacy and fuel jealousy among women. It reflects on the pressures faced by individuals striving to fit into certain standards of beauty or social status during that era. This thought-provoking print captures not only the spirit of its time but also resonates with contemporary audiences who continue to grapple with similar emotions today. "The Green Eyed Monster" invites us to reflect on our own desires, insecurities, and how they shape our interactions within society.
