When Susan's Smart - A Journey Through the Emotional Landscape of Childhood
EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of prints, titled "When Susan's Smart," was published by Humphrey Milford under the "Postcards for the Little Ones" imprint around 1923. The artist behind these evocative depictions of childhood emotion was Lilian Price Hacker, the talented wife of renowned painter Arthur Hacker. The Susan series was first introduced to the public by Liberty & Co. in 1912, making it a cherished piece of early 20th-century visual storytelling. Each print in the Susan series showcases a young girl named Susan, captured in various moods and moments of childhood. From the mischievous glint in her eye as she plays a prank, to the pensive look on her face as she gazes out of a window, these images capture the essence of the human experience as it unfolds in the heart and mind of a child. Lilian Price Hacker's masterful use of color and composition imbues each print with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting the viewer back to a time when the world was full of wonder and discovery. The intricate details in her brushstrokes bring Susan to life, allowing us to connect with her emotions and experiences in a deeply personal way. The Susan series is a testament to the power of art to capture the complexities of the human experience, particularly as it relates to the formative years of childhood. These prints continue to captivate and inspire audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty and depth of the human spirit.
