EDITORS COMMENTS
Edouard Vuillard's "The Cook," plate eleven from his series "Landscapes and Interiors," is a captivating color lithograph on grayish ivory china paper, showcased in the Art Institute of Chicago's vast collection. Created in 1899, this masterpiece is a testament to Vuillard's exceptional talent as a French Post-Impressionist artist and a prominent member of the Nabis artistic movement. The image features a solitary female figure, dressed in an apron, seated in front of a stove in a country kitchen. The cook's intense focus on her task, combined with the intricate patterns and rich colors of her apron and the surrounding interior, creates a sense of intimacy and domesticity. The brown and blue hues of the stove, walls, and floor contrast beautifully with the white color of the cook's attire and the whitewashed walls, adding depth and texture to the composition. The appliance, a symbol of the modern household, is a central element of the scene, emphasizing the importance of cooking and the role of women in the home. The cook's seated position, with her back turned to the viewer, invites us to observe her from a distance, allowing us to appreciate the details of her surroundings and the intricacies of Vuillard's artistic style. This lithograph is a stunning example of Vuillard's ability to capture the essence of a moment in time, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through his unique use of color, pattern, and composition. The image invites us to explore the world of the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a cook in the late 19th century.
