EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating sketch created by Pierrot in June 1925, capturing the allure and mystery of the night. The image, a visual ode to the moon, is a testament to the enchanting power of the natural world and the poetic musings of Rupert Brooke's words. The scene unfolds on the tranquil waters of a tropical lagoon, where the moon casts an ethereal glow upon the still surface. The silhouettes of palm trees, their branches reaching towards the heavens, add to the exotic atmosphere. The moon, a crescent in the sky, beckons with a quiet intensity, its call echoing through the stillness of the night. Brooke's poem, "The Old Vicarage, Grantchester," resonates with the image, as the poet penned: "The moon was shining on the breast of the new-mown meadows, and the bells were ringing in the village." The moon's call, a gentle reminder of the passage of time and the beauty of the natural world, is a recurring theme in Brooke's poetry. The 1920s, a decade marked by artistic innovation and experimentation, saw Pierrot's mastery of the sketch medium. With bold, expressive brushstrokes, he brought the night alive, inviting us to pause and listen to the moon's call. The resulting image, a stunning blend of art and poetry, invites us to reflect on the beauty of the natural world and the power of the moon's gentle, yet persistent, call. This evocative sketch, "Hear the Calling of the Moon," is a timeless reminder of the power of art and poetry to transport us to another world, one where the moon's call beckons us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
