EDITORS COMMENTS
John Farleigh's Woodcuts for George Bernard Shaw's 'The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God' (1932): A Visual Journey into the Fable of Koheleth's Daughter This print showcases a selection of John Farleigh's woodcuts from George Bernard Shaw's thought-provoking play, 'The Adventures of the Black Girl in her Search for God.' Created in 1932, this unique collaboration between the renowned playwright and the talented artist brought to life the intriguing story of Koheleth's daughter, a black girl on a quest for spiritual enlightenment. Farleigh's woodcuts beautifully complement Shaw's text, offering a visual interpretation of the play's rich themes and characters. In this image, we see a series of striking scenes that illustrate the heroine's encounters with various figures from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. The woodcut depicts the girl meeting a friendly lion, an Arab, Mahomet, a Greek Venus, and a philosopher, Voltaire, among others. These encounters represent her journey through various gardens of wisdom, each offering a different perspective on the nature of God. The woodcut of the girl meeting the lion, in particular, is a powerful representation of the unexpected nature of her quest. The lion, traditionally seen as a symbol of fear and danger, is portrayed here as a friendly and wise companion. This unexpected encounter highlights the unconventional and thought-provoking nature of Shaw's play. Farleigh's woodcuts serve not only as visual complements to Shaw's text but also as standalone works of art. Each woodcut is meticulously crafted, with intricate details and bold lines that bring the characters and scenes to life. This print is a testament to the power of collaboration between literature and visual art, inviting viewers to explore the timeless themes of spirituality, identity, and the human quest for meaning.
