Description: | This was an original cartoon for Punch Magazine. It was at the Tate Gallery for an exhibition called 'A child of six could do it'. During the nineteenth century the art world saw a great change in how artists began to express themselves. Many artists and patrons felt that artists not painting in the traditional style had little talent.Many artists wanted to break away from the traditional ways of painting in which they had trained. They chose to free to express themselves to experiment. There are several examples of the progression of change in painting in the collection.This drawing shows two artists working at their easels. The older gentleman is frowning at the other artist's experimental canvas. The young child drawing between them shows the lineage of change. Perhaps it is a symbol of how little talent the older artist feels the experimental artist has.
The drawing shows two artists working at their easels. A top hatted gentleman works on a a small piece whereas the more casual artist works boldly on a larger canvas. They look towards each other. A young child draws between them. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Hats Artists Hobbies cartoon Portrait painting Fine arts Men Leisure time Cartoons Children Clothing Victorian period Art People and roles Leisure time activities Works on paper Portraits Drawings People | Temporal: | 1850 - 1888
