EDITORS COMMENTS
This photogravure print showcases the iconic French writer Victor Hugo, captured by the skilled hands of artist Auguste Rodin. The image, dating back to the late 19th century, exudes a sense of wisdom and experience as Hugo's bearded face gazes into the distance. Dressed in a distinguished jacket that reflects his status as a renowned author, Hugo's presence is both commanding and contemplative. His aged appearance hints at a life well-lived, filled with literary accomplishments that have left an indelible mark on French literature. The print comes from "A History of French Etching from the 16th Century to the Present Day" published in 1924 by F L Leipnik. This publication serves as a testament to Hugo's enduring influence on art and culture throughout history. Auguste Rodin masterfully captures not only Hugo's physical likeness but also his essence as a writer who fearlessly pushed boundaries with his words. The collaboration between these two artistic giants creates an extraordinary piece that transcends time and connects us to one of France's most celebrated literary figures. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait, we are reminded of Victor Hugo's profound impact on society through his writings. It serves as an homage to his genius while inviting us to delve deeper into his works and explore the rich tapestry he wove during his lifetime.
