EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Henri de Lapommeraye, a renowned French lawyer, man of letters, art and theatre critic, as he sits in deep contemplation amidst the chaos of a new comedy production. Dressed in formal attire, Lapommeraye's stern expression and furrowed brow convey his unwavering scrutiny and critical eye. The cartoon, created in 1919, captures the essence of Lapommeraye's role as a critic, a gatekeeper of artistic and literary standards in the late 19th century. Born in 1839, Lapommeraye began his career as a lawyer but soon developed a passion for literature and the arts. He became a prolific writer, publishing numerous articles and essays on various topics, including art, literature, and theatre. His incisive critiques earned him a reputation as a formidable critic, and he was particularly known for his scathing reviews of new comedy productions. The print, titled "Henri de Lapommeraye, Critic," is a testament to the power of the written word and the influence of the critic in shaping public opinion. The cannon in the background symbolizes the enduring impact of Lapommeraye's critiques, which helped to shape the cultural landscape of his time. The print also serves as a reminder of the importance of critical discourse in the arts and the role of the critic in fostering artistic innovation and growth. This historical print, produced by the esteemed French publisher Demare in 1843, is a valuable addition to any collection of art, literature, or theatre history. Its intricate details and rich colors bring to life the essence of Lapommeraye's character and the world of 19th-century French culture.
