Description: | Signed: yes Description: This head and shoulders study of a child captures the infant with a pot in his left hand and licking a spoon held in his unseen right hand. The child is probably still very young, as he does not have a full head of hair. Carrière was a key figure in the Symbolist movement and exhibited with many artistic groups, such as La Libre Esthétique in Brussels and the Munich and Berlin Secessions. His work, immediately recognisable by his unique brown monochrome palette and vaporous compositional effects, achieves a mood of transcendence that reflects the artist's spiritual beliefs. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Carrière, Eugène (French painter, printmaker, 1849-1906) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9197... | Go to resource |
