EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Des Gens qui n aiment pas le Grand Jour, 1854" by Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard) takes us back to the year 1854, offering a fascinating glimpse into French society during that time. This colour lithograph is part of the renowned series "Les Metamorphoses du Jour" created between 1828 and 1829. In this particular artwork, Grandville skillfully portrays the Parisian middle class with animal faces, symbolizing their true nature as beasts. The artist's satirical approach sheds light on the hypocrisy and pretentiousness prevalent in bourgeois society during the Bourbon Restoration period. The image showcases a couple standing under the moonlit night sky, surrounded by bats and an owl perched nearby. Their expressions reveal discomfort as they shy away from the grandeur of daylight. It seems that these individuals are not fond of exposure or transparency; instead, they prefer to hide behind darkness and shadows. Through his cartoon-like style and clever use of satire, Grandville offers a scathing commentary on societal norms and values at that time. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect upon human behavior and question whether appearances truly reflect one's character. This print serves as a valuable historical document capturing an era marked by social change and political unrest in France. Its timeless message continues to resonate today as we contemplate our own relationship with authenticity and self-perception within society.
