EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Quint Lox, we are transported back in time to 1857 and introduced to the poignant artwork of Simeon Solomon. Titled "I Am Starving" this piece showcases Solomon's incredible talent with pen and black ink, enhanced by a delicate touch of gray wash. The image portrays a scene that evokes deep emotions within the viewer. A figure, presumably representing an impoverished individual, is depicted with haunting realism. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth every nuance of despair etched upon the subject's face. Their hollow eyes seem to plead for compassion as they endure the harsh reality of hunger. Solomon masterfully captures both physical and emotional starvation through his skilled use of shading and line work. The contrast between light and dark adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the starkness of their circumstances. As we gaze at this powerful artwork, it serves as a reminder that art has always been a medium for social commentary. Solomon's portrayal exposes the plight faced by many during his era while also resonating with contemporary audiences who understand that hunger remains an ongoing issue in our world today. Quint Lox has expertly preserved this significant piece from the Liszt Collection through his exceptional photography skills. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only Solomon's artistic prowess but also reflect on how art continues to shed light on societal struggles throughout history.
