EDITORS COMMENTS
This circus scene illustration is a vibrant and whimsical work of art by the naive painter Gárd Laplau (1938-2009). The vertical composition is filled with a lively and colorful cast of characters, both human and animal, that transport us back in time to the golden age of the circus. In the foreground, a group of men, dressed in masculine attire, are shown breaking and taming horses with great skill and determination. Their focused expressions and strong postures convey the raw power and energy of the circus. Behind them, a collection of women, dressed in feminine garb, watch in awe as the circus performers put on a show. Their excited and curious expressions add to the sense of wonder and delight that permeates the scene. In the background, a majestic lion roars, adding to the sense of excitement and danger that is a hallmark of the circus. The use of bold colors and simplified forms is characteristic of Laplau's naive art style, which draws inspiration from primitivist and contemporary art movements. This painting is a representation of the circus as a unique and enduring form of entertainment, where the boundaries between the wild and the tamed are blurred, and the audience is transported to a world of magic and wonder. The circus scene illustrated by Gárd Laplau is a timeless and enchanting work of art that captures the essence of the circus as a cultural institution and a source of joy and wonder for people of all ages.
