EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Kaatskill mountains had always been haunted by strange beings" we are transported to a mystical world filled with enchantment and wonder. The image, taken from the renowned story "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving, brings to life the haunting beauty of the Catskill Mountains. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to a group of ethereal creatures soaring gracefully above the treetops. With their pointed noses and mischievous expressions, these goblins seem to have emerged from another realm, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The backdrop of rolling hillsides serves as a reminder of the turbulent times during which this tale is set - before and after the American Revolutionary War. It is in these very mountains that Rip Van Winkle finds himself in a deep slumber for twenty years, awakening to find his world forever changed. Arthur Rackham's exquisite use of color lithography adds depth and vibrancy to every element within this artwork. Each brushstroke captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes emotions that resonate within us all. This print transports us into a fantastical realm where reality intertwines with folklore. It invites us on an imaginative journey where we can explore both history and myth while marveling at nature's grandeur.
