EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wingless Chimera, 1911 is a captivating work of art by Scottish painter and printmaker, David Young Cameron. This monochromatic masterpiece, created during the early 1910s, is a testament to Cameron's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep connection to Greek mythology. The Chimera, a mythical beast from Greek mythology, is depicted in this etching and drypoint on cream laid paper. Known for its lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail, the Chimera was said to breathe fire. However, in Cameron's interpretation, the creature is wingless, adding an intriguing twist to the traditional myth. This antique print, held in the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a significant addition to any art centre or gallery. The intricately engraved lines and subtle tonal variations create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the mythical beast to life on the page. Cameron's use of black and white further emphasizes the contrast between the creature's various forms, adding to the overall dramatic effect. The scene is set against a blank background, allowing the Chimera to take centre stage. This historic print is a must-see for anyone with an interest in art, particularly those drawn to the works of Scottish artists or the depiction of mythical beasts. The Wingless Chimera, 1911 is a unique and captivating piece that invites viewers to explore the rich heritage of art and mythology.
