EDITORS COMMENTS
Max Klinger's Wishes, plate three from A Glove, created in 1881, is a poignant and evocative work of Art Nouveau symbolism. This black and white etching and aquatint on ivory chine colle on off white wove paper depicts a solitary woman, her head in her hands, as she sits underneath a tree in a rural setting. The discovery of a glove lying on the ground beside her adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The woman's melancholic pose and the desolate surroundings suggest a sense of loss and despair. The blossoms and trees in the background, however, offer a glimmer of hope and the promise of new beginnings. The use of contrasting textures and tonal variations in the etching further enhances the emotional depth of the image. Max Klinger, a German artist of the nineteenth century, was known for his innovative approach to printmaking and his exploration of Symbolist themes. Wishes, plate three from A Glove, is a prime example of his ability to convey complex emotions through the medium of etching. The artwork invites the viewer to contemplate the human condition, the passage of time, and the beauty and fragility of nature. This hauntingly beautiful print is a cherished addition to the collections of many art institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it can be appreciated by art lovers and scholars alike. The image invites us to reflect on the universal themes of loss, longing, and the human experience, making it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
