EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Brain Salad" showcases a caricature of the renowned French author Victor Hugo. Created by Bertall, a talented artist from the 19th century, this color lithograph was featured on the front cover of Le Grelot in June 1871. The artwork is now housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. In this intriguing image, we see Hugo's head transformed into a vibrant and chaotic scene that represents his creative genius. The skull serves as a vessel for his imaginative prowess, with an open top revealing a devilish figure stirring up inspiration within. A dramatic quill pen emerges from the scalp, symbolizing Hugo's ability to bring words to life through his writing. The cartoon-like elements add whimsy to this portrayal of one of France's most celebrated literary figures. As a key figure in French Romanticism and known for works such as Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame), Hugo's influence on literature cannot be overstated. Through this print, we are invited into the mind of Victor Hugo – witnessing firsthand the messiness and complexity that comes with producing great art. It is an homage to all writers who dare to open their minds and let their creativity flow freely onto paper.
