Le Bonheur dans le crime,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Happiness in Crime," is a captivating etching by the Belgian artist Félicien Rops, created in 1886 as part of his series "Les Diaboliques - Petites planches." This hauntingly beautiful work of art showcases two figures, a man and a woman, locked in an intimate embrace, their faces contorted in ecstasy. The scene is set against a backdrop of darkness, with only a faint light illuminating the couple, highlighting their naked bodies and adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The title of the piece, "Happiness in Crime," raises questions about the nature of human desire and the lengths people will go to fulfill it. The couple's joyous expression and the absence of any signs of fear or remorse suggest that they have found pleasure in their transgressions. The use of black and white contrasts adds depth and texture to the image, emphasizing the starkness of the scene and the intensity of the emotions portrayed. Félicien Rops, a prominent figure in the Flemish art scene of the late 19th century, was known for his provocative and controversial works. "Le Bonheur dans le crime" is a testament to his skill as an artist and his ability to challenge societal norms through his art. Today, this piece is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and intrigue visitors from around the world. The image serves as a reminder of the complexities of human emotion and the power of art to provoke thought and spark conversation.
