EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sick Love, 1893" by Theodor Severin Kittelsen evokes a myriad of emotions and tells a poignant story. In this artwork, we witness the aftermath of a once blissful honeymoon that has taken a turn for the worse. The image portrays an anthropomorphic groom and bride sitting in a small boat on calm waters during sunset. However, their expressions reveal deep sadness and unhappiness. The groom is seen hugging a bottle while shedding tears, symbolizing his realization of the deteriorating state of their marriage. Meanwhile, the bride is depicted crying with her head resting on her hand. Adding to the surreal nature of this piece, an insect resembling a grasshopper perches nearby as if observing their sorrowful scene. This juxtaposition highlights the fragility and vulnerability present in relationships. The artist's use of watercolor on paper adds depth and texture to this illustration, enhancing its emotional impact. The composition also showcases intricate details such as the wedding dress worn by the bride and even captures them defecating off the side of the boat – perhaps representing how their love has become tainted or lost its purity. Overall, "Sick Love" invites viewers to reflect upon themes of lost romance, shattered dreams, and human frailty within marriage through its powerful imagery.
