It's Papa Can't Bear it Out of His Sight,
EDITORS COMMENTS
created by Randolph Caldecott in 1872, is a captivating and humorous gouache and watercolour drawing with graphite on cream wove paper, now discoloured to tan laid down on tan wood pulp board, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. This masterpiece of 19th-century British art presents a satirical take on the concept of fatherhood and the passing of traditions from one generation to the next. The image depicts an elderly man, dressed in formal attire, standing in a doorway, deeply engrossed in a conversation with a young woman. The father's intense gaze and the young woman's animated expression suggest an engaging and perhaps heated discussion. The father, with a white beard and an air of authority, wears a top hat and a three-piece suit, while the young woman, dressed in a vibrant, colourful dress, looks determined and resolute. Behind the father, two older women and two older men can be seen, peering curiously into the scene, as if they are privy to the conversation. The use of white and colour in the drawing effectively contrasts the father's seriousness with the young woman's youthful energy. Caldecott's "It's Papa Can't Bear it Out of His Sight" is a poignant commentary on the role of fathers in shaping the lives of their children, as well as the enduring influence of tradition. The artwork's satirical tone and intriguing composition make it a beloved piece of heritage art that continues to captivate viewers at the Art Institute of Chicago and beyond.
