EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Chacun pour Soi, 1864" by Philippe Rousseau takes us back to a cluttered kitchen scene in the 19th century. This realist oil on canvas painting depicts a group of hungry dogs scavenging for leftovers from dirty plates. The artist skillfully captures the essence of survival and self-reliance with his masterful brushstrokes. In this chaotic setting, we witness a mother dog suckling her puppies while other dogs scrounge for any remains they can find. The image portrays an atmosphere of desperation as each animal fights for its own sustenance - truly embodying the title "Chacun pour Soi" which translates to "Each for Himself". Rousseau's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the worn-out walking stick resting against the wall to the teats that nourish the young pups, every element tells a story within itself. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of our primal instincts and our constant pursuit for survival. It also sheds light on our relationship with animals and their ability to adapt even in dire circumstances. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where hunger reigns supreme and only those who fight tooth and nail will prevail. Rousseau's work continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us that sometimes life demands that we fend for ourselves - just like these resilient creatures depicted before us.
