EDITORS COMMENTS
Edmund Blampied's captivating art print, "The Dress Circle: London Theatre Audiences," offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich theatrical history of the early 20th century. This intriguing piece, created in 1934, showcases two distinct scenes of audience reactions to comedy and tragedy, captured in the upper and lower halves of the print respectively. In the top half, Blampied masterfully depicts the jovial and lighthearted atmosphere of a comedy performance. Laughter spills over from the stage, contagiously spreading among the audience. The faces of the patrons are filled with delight and amusement, their bodies leaning forward in rapt attention, some even clapping their hands. The overall mood is one of pure joy and happiness. Conversely, in the lower half of the print, Blampied captures the somber and emotional response of the audience to a tragic production. The expressions on their faces range from sorrow and sadness to shock and disbelief. Some audience members dab their eyes with handkerchiefs, while others cling to one another for comfort. The overall mood is one of deep emotion and introspection. Edmund Blampied's "The Dress Circle: London Theatre Audiences" is a testament to the power of live theatre to evoke strong emotions and bring people together. The print provides a unique window into the past, offering a glimpse into the theatrical experiences of London audiences during the 1930s. This work of art is a must-have for any theatre lover or history enthusiast.
