Margot la Critique, 1854
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching created by Felix Bracquemond in the 19th century. This thought-provoking artwork depicts Margot, a magpie perched on a branch, embodying the concept of literary criticism with satirical flair. Bracquemond's attention to detail is evident in this second state of three prints. The intricate lines and shading bring out the bird's feathers and expressive features, while the use of contrast adds depth to the composition. With its quill pen held high, Margot seems ready to unleash her sharp wit upon unsuspecting prey. The artist cleverly draws inspiration from Ovid's poetry and Publius Ovidius Naso's work specifically. Through parody and satire, Bracquemond creates an intriguing commentary on literary critique during his time. Margot becomes both a symbol of wisdom and mischief as she squawks her opinions about literature from her perch. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print showcases Bracquemond's mastery in capturing not only visual beauty but also intellectual discourse within his artistry. As viewers engage with "Margot la Critique" they are invited to reflect on their own relationship with literature and how it can be subjectively interpreted. This piece serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Bracquemond were unafraid to challenge societal norms through their creations. "Margot la Critique" continues
