EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Homo homini lupus, 1901" by Max Pirner captures a powerful and thought-provoking scene. In this piece, the artist combines allegorical and symbolic elements to convey his personal feelings of disillusionment and pessimism towards the reality of modern times. At first glance, we see a winged figure representing Imagination being crucified by apes while other animals observe. This striking image symbolizes how man's savage nature can destroy creativity and idealism. The clash between the ideal world of Art and the harshness of reality is depicted with irony and sarcasm. Pirner's use of watercolor on paper adds depth to the artwork, enhancing its ornamental qualities. The stylized figures, including a naked woman, monkeys, and various decorative motifs, reflect influences from art nouveau and Vienna Secession movements popular during that era. Through "Homo homini lupus". Pirner invites viewers to contemplate humanity's capacity for both beauty and brutality. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in an age marked by progress and innovation, there remains an underlying darkness within us all. This print now resides at Narodni Galerie in Prague, Czech Republic. Its enduring message continues to resonate with audiences today as it did over a century ago when it was created.
