EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Place, 1881" captures a moment frozen in time during the Belle Époque era. Created by Max Klinger, a renowned German symbolist artist, this print is part of his series called "Ein Handschuh" or "A Glove". Measuring 31.8x48.6 cm, it is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota. The scene depicted showcases a park filled with skaters enjoying their leisurely pastime on roller skates. The elegant figures gracefully glide across the rink while others watch with curiosity and admiration. Among them are couples engaged in romantic outings, adding an element of social history to the artwork. Klinger's attention to detail brings life to each character portrayed; from the fallen glove that hints at an interrupted rendezvous to the subtle glances exchanged between individuals within this bustling group setting. This snapshot of society life in the early 20th century offers a glimpse into how people sought entertainment and connection during that time. With its timeless charm and nostalgic atmosphere, this print transports viewers back to an era where roller skating was not only a sport but also a beloved form of recreation for both men and women alike. It serves as a testament to Klinger's artistic prowess and his ability to capture fleeting moments that transcend generations.
