Don't Move!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Hilarious Caricature of a Man at the Dentist This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "Don't Move!", captures a humorous scene from the 19th century French School. The artwork, housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, Paris, France, showcases the talent and wit of an unknown artist. In this lively image, we see a man seated on a dentist's chair with an expression of both fear and anticipation. The caricatured features exaggerate his anxiety as he braces himself for dental treatment. Surrounding him are various medical instruments and furniture associated with dentistry. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between patient and practitioner through clever details. The surgeon is depicted wearing traditional surgical attire while holding what appears to be an oversized pair of forceps or pliers – adding to the exaggerated sense of unease. The use of color lithography enhances this whimsical scene by infusing it with vivid hues that bring every element to life. From the rich tones used for the furniture to subtle shading techniques employed on each character's face, this print demonstrates technical mastery alongside its comedic intent. "Don't Move!" serves as a reminder that even in uncomfortable situations such as dental visits, humor can provide relief from anxiety. This charming artwork continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless portrayal of human vulnerability combined with artistic finesse.
