EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "The Two Hunchbacks" created in 1893 by Auguste Louis Lepere and Edward Sagot, we are transported to the bustling streets of Paris. The scene depicts two hunchbacked individuals, their figures stooped under the weight of their burdens, navigating through a crowd of passersby. Lepere's masterful use of line work and shading brings depth and texture to the print, allowing us to feel the heaviness that these characters carry both physically and emotionally. Their expressions convey a sense of resilience despite their physical deformities, reminding us that beauty can be found even in unconventional forms. As we delve into this artwork from the late 19th century France, it serves as a poignant reminder of society's tendency to overlook those who may appear different or marginalized. Lepere and Sagot shed light on these often unseen members of our community, urging us to reconsider our preconceived notions about beauty and worth. This print is part of Heritage Art's collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art, showcasing works that not only celebrate artistic excellence but also provoke meaningful conversations about societal norms. Through its delicate craftsmanship and thought-provoking subject matter, "The Two Hunchbacks" invites viewers to reflect on empathy, acceptance, and the power of art as a catalyst for change.
