Laziness - drawing by Willette, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking piece of art that transports us back to the early 20th century. This print, captured by Leonard de Selva, showcases Adolphe Leon Willette's unique artistic style. In this allegorical scene, we are presented with a glimpse into the world of laziness. A young woman, depicted as naked and reclining on a broomstick, represents the embodiment of idleness. Her lackadaisical posture contrasts sharply with the bustling household chores happening around her. A couple engaged in conversation nearby seems oblivious to their surroundings while an animal curiously observes from afar. The artist skillfully captures the essence of capital sins through this composition – highlighting how sloth can infiltrate even the most mundane aspects of life. Willette's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. The delicate lines and shading bring depth to each character and object within the frame. Through this artwork, he invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with productivity and motivation. Preserved in a private collection for over a century, "Laziness - drawing by Willette, 1917" continues to captivate audiences today. It serves as both a historical artifact showcasing early 20th-century French artistry and an enduring reminder of our perpetual struggle against indolence.
