The Butter Plate, number 457, Satirical in Colors
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 20th century. Created by the talented Spanish illustrator Juan Gris (1887-1927), this satirical illustration showcases his mastery of detail and wit. The image depicts an old man, adorned with a medal, holding up a butter plate. The engraving style adds depth and texture to the artwork, giving it a traditional feel. This piece was originally published in a French newspaper on January 1st, serving as both a rescue from tradition and an honorary decoration for its readers. Gris's clever use of colors brings life to the scene, highlighting the vibrant satire embedded within. Through this caricatured representation of an elderly figure presenting butter on a plate, Gris comments on societal norms and expectations prevalent during that time period. This print serves as a visual time capsule capturing not only the essence of France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but also providing insight into European journalism at large. It reminds us of how art can be used as commentary and reflection on society. As we admire "The Butter Plate" we are transported to another era where newspapers were influential sources of information and artistic expression knew no bounds. This remarkable piece stands as testament to Gris's talent as an engraver while offering us glimpses into history through his satirical lens.
