EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Oil over a photograph, 1901" by Fritz W. Guerin takes us back to the turn of the century in St. Louis, Missouri. The image portrays an intimate scene within an American home, offering a glimpse into the lives of its inhabitants. In this interior setting, we find ourselves in a bedroom where a woman lies on her bed, dressed in a delicate nightgown. Surrounding her are elements that speak to both illness and well-being: a carpeted floor provides comfort underfoot while a bearskin rug adds warmth and luxury to the space. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the bottle of medicine placed next to her bedside. It symbolizes hope for healing and relief from whatever ailment she may be facing. A spoon rests nearby, ready to administer the necessary dosage. Despite being unwell, there is still an air of tranquility present as evidenced by the bear figurine perched atop her pillow - perhaps serving as both guardian and companion during these difficult times. Guerin's use of oil over photography adds depth and texture to this snapshot from history. Through his artistry, he invites us into this private moment where we can reflect on our own experiences with sickness and recovery. This evocative piece captures not only a specific era but also universal themes surrounding health and resilience that continue to resonate today.
