EDITORS COMMENTS
Isaac Robert Cruikshank's 'Inconvenient Partners in Waltzing' (1817/19) is a hand-coloured etching on paper that showcases the artist's satirical and burlesque take on the popular dance craze of the time - the waltz. The print depicts a group of men and women, some tall and thin, others short and obese, awkwardly attempting to waltz together. The incongruous pairings and the exaggerated physical characteristics of the figures add a humorous and satirical edge to the scene. Cruikshank, a prominent British caricaturist, was known for his biting wit and ability to capture the absurdities of society. In this print, he pokes fun at the inconvenience and awkwardness of partner dancing, as well as the social norms and expectations of the time. The hand-tinted etching, with its vibrant colors and intricate detail, is a testament to the artist's skill and mastery of the medium. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of 19th century Britain, offering a humorous and insightful commentary on the dance craze that swept the nation. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, satire, or social commentary. This print is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the oldest and most renowned art museums in the United States. The museum's extensive collection spans over 5,000 years of art from cultures around the world, making it a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and art lovers alike.
