EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.M. Bateman: A Playful Illustration of Perseverance and Creativity In this delightful and whimsical illustration by H.M. Bateman, titled "The Artistic Smoker," an artist is seen in the comfort of his armchair, engrossed in a newfound hobby. The easel and painting supplies in the background are abandoned, as the artist's attention is solely focused on perfecting a new skill: blowing smoke rings. With each puff, the artist creates increasingly elaborate patterns, starting with a simple knot, progressing to a question mark, an exclamation mark, and even more complex shapes such as a duck and a dancing woman. His determination and focus are unwavering, as he strives to create the perfect smoke ring. Eventually, the artist's creations become so elaborate that they resemble a miniature farmyard scene, complete with a cow, milkmaid, and chickens. His wife or housekeeper looks on in admiration, appreciating the artist's dedication and creativity, even in the most unexpected of places. This charming illustration, created in 1922, showcases the power of practice and the importance of maintaining a curious and playful spirit. Bateman's use of humor and attention to detail make "The Artistic Smoker" a timeless piece that continues to captivate and delight audiences.
