Caran Cartoonist Dache Emmanuel Issue Lalbum Maitres Poire Pseudonym Satirist 1901

EDITORS COMMENTS
Caran d'Ache, the renowned French satirist and political cartoonist, is captured in this illustration as he immerses himself in the creative process of painting a portrait. Circa 1901, the artist, born as Emmanuel Poire in 1858, is seen in the midst of bringing a lady's likeness to life on his canvas. The image is a testament to his exceptional artistic skills and the dedication he brought to his craft. Caran d'Ache, a pseudonym he adopted, gained fame for his incisive wit and biting satire, often targeting political figures and societal norms of his time. However, this illustration offers a glimpse into another side of his artistic talent - his ability to capture the essence of a subject through the medium of oil painting. The portrait, which is believed to be a self-portrait, shows Caran d'Ache in deep concentration, his eyes fixed on the woman's face before him. The woman, with an enigmatic smile, seems to pose effortlessly for the artist. The setting, a cluttered studio filled with brushes, palettes, and half-finished canvases, adds to the authenticity of the scene. This evocative image is taken from 'Album des Maîtres de la Caricature,' a collection published by the French magazine 'Les Maitres de la Caricature' in October, issue of the same year. The illustration not only showcases Caran d'Ache's artistic prowess but also offers a glimpse into the world of a master satirist at work.
