EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical colour lithograph by Leon Kern captures the humorous and scathing commentary on French society in the early 20th century. Titled "Une femme de gout," this illustration for Le Pele-Mele from 1904 depicts a comical scene of a bedridden man hoping for a diagnosis from his wife, who appears to be more concerned with her own health.
The vibrant yellow and black colours add to the comedic effect of the cartoon, as we see the couple in their home surrounded by medical paraphernalia. The exaggerated expressions on their faces convey both hopefulness and frustration as they navigate through illness and medicine.
Kern's wit shines through in this piece, highlighting the absurdity of human nature when faced with sickness and health. The detailed composition invites viewers to take a closer look at each element of the drawing, uncovering hidden jokes and subtle references to societal norms.
Overall, "Une femme de gout" is a delightful example of satire in art, showcasing Kern's talent for blending humour with social commentary. This print is sure to bring laughter and contemplation to any space it graces.
