EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intriguing print titled "Cannibal Cookery" by Jean Geiser takes us back to the early 20th century with its comic postcard theme. The image portrays a scene of cannibalism, but in a lighthearted and humorous way. The warm and cozy atmosphere is enhanced by the use of vivid colors, creating an inviting setting for this unusual culinary experience. In the foreground, we see a group of cannibals gathered around a table, engaged in their peculiar cooking ritual. One man sits comfortably on a chair, enjoying his cigar while overseeing the proceedings. Tobacco smoke fills the air, adding to the ambiance. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the large knife held by one of the cannibals. It serves as both a weapon for defense and an essential tool for their craft. The intricate carvings on it showcase skilled craftsmanship. Geiser's attention to detail is evident throughout this piece; from crockery and cutlery to bas reliefs adorning the walls, every element adds depth to this comical scene. While exploring themes such as gastronomy and history, "Cannibal Cookery" challenges our perceptions with its dark humor. This thought-provoking illustration reminds us that art can be found even in unexpected places like comic books or postcards. Bridgeman Images has preserved this snapshot from our past, allowing us to appreciate Geiser's talent as well as providing insight into early 20th-century culture through art.
