EDITORS COMMENTS
The Member of the Beauty Chorus who Got out of Step" is a classic and humorous cartoon by renowned British satirical artist H.M. Bateman, created in 1928. The image captures a moment of pure amusement and mischief as a beautiful chorus girl, in the midst of a synchronized dance performance, inadvertently kicks high and out of time with her fellow dancers. Her surprised expression and the exaggerated height of her kick add to the comedic effect, as does the orchestra's confused reaction in the background. The chorus line, a staple of musical theatre and entertainment, is depicted here in all its glamour and precision, with the girls dressed in elegant costumes and high heels. However, Bateman's playful twist on the scene highlights the human element of error and the unexpected, adding a touch of humor to the otherwise rigid and synchronized performance. Bateman's masterful use of line and form, as well as his keen sense of timing and comedy, are on full display in this charming and enduring cartoon. The image invites viewers to appreciate the lighter side of theatre and entertainment, and to find joy in the small moments of imperfection that make life and art so delightfully unpredictable. This print is a testament to Bateman's remarkable talent for capturing the human condition through his art, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of humor and the unexpected in art and life.
