Eh bien! Et des balles nous n'en faisons donc plus?
EDITORS COMMENTS
(translated from French to English as "Well then! So we don't make balls anymore?") is a thought-provoking and allegorical lithograph created by the renowned French caricaturist, Cham, in 1865. This artwork was first published in the French satirical magazine, Le Charivari, on November 27, 1865, under the series title "Actualités." The image depicts an allegorical figure, identified as Amedee de Noe, seated at a campfire with a pensive expression. He holds a cotton ball in one hand and a rifle ball in the other, contemplating which one to use. The background shows a caricatured representation of the American continent, with the God of War holding a scale, weighing the two objects. The title of the work is inscribed above the scene in elegant lettering. This intriguing artwork is a commentary on the evolving nature of conflict and the potential shift from traditional warfare to a more peaceful resolution. The use of allegory and symbolism adds depth and complexity to the image, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition. The lithograph is a testament to Cham's artistic skill and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of the time. It is a significant piece of heritage art, showcasing the artistic school of the nineteenth century and the rich cultural history of France and Europe. The black and white, or bw, lithograph is an excellent example of the graphic arts and the power of illustration to convey complex ideas and concepts. This artwork is now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) collection, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. It is a valuable addition to any art centre or gallery, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to provoke thought and inspire conversation.
