EDITORS COMMENTS
This linocut print, titled "Clown (Black)" by an anonymous artist, showcases the enigmatic and timeless charm of the circus world. Dated back to the 1930s, this intricately designed artwork is a stunning example of the linocut printing technique, which involves carving an image into a linoleum sheet and then printing it onto paper or other surfaces. The monochromatic palette of this print, with its bold and expressive use of black ink, adds an air of mystery and depth to the clown's enigmatic expression. The clown's exaggerated features, including his oversized shoes, red nose, and sad clown tear, are expertly rendered in the linocut, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The artist's mastery of the linocut medium is evident in the intricate details of the clown's costume, from the folds of his red and white striped trousers to the delicate patterns on his hat. The background of the print is kept simple, with only the suggestion of a curved line indicating the edge of a stage or a big top tent. This print is part of the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the circus and the artistry of the linocut printing process. The anonymity of the artist only adds to the print's intrigue, leaving us to ponder the identity of the talented craftsperson behind this work.
