EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic poster for "Ubu king" by Alfred Jarry, a renowned French playwright. Created in 1896, this poster was designed by Jarry himself for a performance at the Theatre de l'Oeuvre in Paris. The Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris holds this precious piece of literary and artistic history. The image depicts an intriguing blend of elements that symbolize power, wealth, and surrealism. A prominent figure stands tall with a sword in hand, surrounded by flames emanating from braziers. This fiery backdrop represents the four elements and adds an air of mystique to the composition. Juxtaposed against this fantastical scene is a corpulent man who embodies ridicule and grotesqueness. His exaggerated size serves as a satirical commentary on societal norms surrounding masculinity and virility during that era. The inclusion of a bag or purse as an accessory hints at themes related to money and greed while also adding an element of mystery to the character's persona. Overall, this poster captures both the essence of Jarry's play and his unique artistic style. It invites viewers into a world where reality blends seamlessly with fantasy, leaving them captivated by its enigmatic charm.
