EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beauty Goeth Fast Away from Everyman" takes us back to the late Middle Ages, showcasing an allegorical drama that explores the transient nature of beauty. Published by Chapman & Hall in 1925, this colour lithograph captures the essence of a morality play with its abstract personification of a female figure. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene where Beauty is portrayed as fleeting and ephemeral. The artist, John Austen (1886-1948), skillfully conveys the message that beauty is not everlasting but rather diminishes over time. This timeless concept resonates even today, reminding us of our mortality and encouraging us to appreciate the present moment. The composition exudes an air of mystery and contemplation, inviting viewers to reflect on their own perception of beauty and its impermanence. Through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Austen masterfully brings forth both melancholy and awe-inspiring emotions. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from a private collection, we are transported to another era where moral lessons were conveyed through visual storytelling. This piece serves as a poignant reminder that true beauty lies beyond physical appearances - it resides within our actions, virtues, and how we choose to live our lives. With its rich historical context and thought-provoking symbolism, this print continues to captivate audiences today while paying homage to centuries-old traditions in artistry.
