EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, we are presented with a print titled "You'll find out your catechism - 'L'école chrétienne'" by Felix Vallotton. The image is featured in the March 1902 edition of "L'Assiette au Beurre" a renowned French satirical magazine. The artwork depicts a scene that captures the essence of religious education during the early 20th century. A stern-looking clergyman stands tall, holding a cane in his hand, while facing a group of young students who appear to be anxiously awaiting their fate. The atmosphere is tense, as if they know what awaits them for any incorrect answers. Vallotton's caricature highlights the theme of anticlericalism prevalent at that time. It portrays an exaggerated representation of religious authority figures and their methods of discipline within faith schools. The artist challenges traditional notions surrounding religion and raises questions about abuse and punishment within Christian institutions. The composition itself is striking, with strong lines and contrasting shadows adding depth to the characters' expressions. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography allows us to appreciate Vallotton's intricate drawing even more. This print serves as both historical documentation and artistic commentary on religion in society during the early 20th century. It invites viewers to reflect on how educational practices have evolved over time while also shedding light on important social issues that persist today.
