EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a remarkable banquet held in 1905, titled "Programme for banquet, Die Zukunft (The Future)". The image showcases an exquisite photogravure on a menu card created by the talented artist Hubert von Herkomer. Measuring 24.1x16.5 cm, this piece is housed at the prestigious Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, USA. The frontispiece of this programme features a mesmerizing scene that evokes curiosity and intrigue. A blindfolded female figure takes center stage amidst a grand feast, surrounded by headlights and strapped to the bonnet of an automobile. This unique composition symbolizes both speed and progress as it encapsulates the concept of "The Future". Notably, the cover also includes elements such as headlamps, buses, and cars that further emphasize modernity and innovation. Additionally, there is an intriguing juxtaposition between nudity and blindfolding within this artwork; it challenges traditional notions while adding depth to its narrative. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print serves as a testament to Herkomer's mastery in capturing complex themes through visual storytelling. It stands as a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition space.
