EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Young woman (spinner) sleeping by her wheel - sleep - dream - reverie - love" transports us to 19th century France. Created by the talented artist Tony Johannot, also known as Antoine Johannot dit, this piece beautifully captures a moment of tranquility and introspection. In the image, we see a young woman peacefully asleep next to her spinning wheel. The delicate lines of the etching bring out the intricate details of her surroundings—the worn distaff, symbolizing her craft and dedication; the gentle curve of the wheel, representing continuity and time passing; and the soft folds of fabric that envelop her in comfort. As she slumbers, it is evident that dreams fill her mind. Perhaps she envisions a future filled with love or contemplates distant reveries. This artwork invites viewers to ponder their own aspirations and desires while observing this serene scene. The engraving skillfully portrays not only physical fatigue but also emotional weariness—a testament to Johannot's artistic prowess. Through his masterful technique, he conveys both exhaustion from laborious work and an underlying sense of ease found within restful sleep. This remarkable print serves as a reminder for us all to find solace in moments of repose amidst life's demands. It speaks volumes about human resilience and our innate ability to find peace even in times of hardship. Photo © Gusman showcases this timeless masterpiece captured through Patrice Cartier's lens—an exquisite collaboration between past artistry and contemporary photography techniques that allows us to appreciate its beauty anew.
