EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intriguing colour lithograph titled "Figures Of Speech: Between The Devil And The Deep Sea" captures the essence of a popular idiom in a visually striking manner. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this piece is part of a set of cigarette cards on the subject of Figures Of Speech, originally issued by Ardath in 1936.
The composition features two contrasting elements - the devil on one side and the deep sea on the other, symbolizing a difficult choice between two equally undesirable options. The vivid colours and intricate details draw viewers into a world where language and imagery collide to create thought-provoking art.
As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of the power of words and how they can evoke strong emotions and convey complex ideas. The juxtaposition of light and dark, good and evil, invites us to ponder our own dilemmas and decisions in life.
This print serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a mental exercise for the mind, showcasing the creativity and ingenuity of artists who bring everyday expressions to life through their work. It is a testament to human imagination and storytelling that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
