EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by Wilhelm Stettler that showcases his mastery of brush and Indian ink on paper. Measuring at 11.5x10.5 cm, this piece can be found in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. Stettler's work depicts a scene filled with symbolism and social commentary. The central figure is an enigmatic fool, representing the vices of selfishness and narcissism. In front of him stands a woman holding a mirror, highlighting society's obsession with beauty products and self-image. The artist skillfully captures the essence of mockery and derision through intricate details in his drawing. The foolery portrayed here belittles not only individuals but also societal values as a whole. Originating from Switzerland, Stettler was known for his thought-provoking artworks that often challenged conventional norms. His use of black and white adds depth to this composition while emphasizing contrasts between virtue and vice. "The Aufbutz Fool" serves as both an illustration of human flaws and a reminder to strive for virtuous qualities. This timeless piece continues to captivate viewers with its powerful message even centuries after its creation.
