EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph from 1871 captures a whimsical caricature of the renowned French writer Victor Hugo. Depicted in a comical scene at the Menagerie de Bordeaux, Hugo is humorously portrayed as attempting to learn French from the animals through their prolonged bellows. The satirical drawing showcases the wit and creativity of the artist, G Bar, who skillfully brings out Hugo's larger-than-life personality.
Victor Hugo, known for his iconic works such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame," is shown in a light-hearted manner that contrasts with his serious literary reputation. The colorful and detailed illustration features several wildlife animals adding to the playful atmosphere of the piece.
This unique print offers a glimpse into both French culture and political satire of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of Victor Hugo's enduring legacy as a prolific writer, playwright, and novelist. With its vibrant colors and clever composition, this caricature is sure to spark conversation and bring joy to any art collection.
