EDITORS COMMENTS
In 'The Fisherman', a poignant drypoint print created in 1908 by British artist William Strang, we find ourselves drawn into an intimate scene of family life. The central figure, the fisherman himself, is shrouded in mystery as his face remains hidden behind his arm and conch-shell blowing gesture. Instead, our gaze falls upon the tender interactions between a mother and child - their faces aglow with warmth and love.
Strang's masterful use of black and white tones creates a hauntingly beautiful image that transcends time. The circular composition draws us in, as if we are peering into an ancient Greek vase painting come to life. The fisherman's family is bathed in the soft light of day, their figures reclining against the vast expanse of sea and sky.
This stunning print not only showcases Strang's technical skill but also his ability to capture the essence of human connection. 'The Fisherman' invites us into a world where love, nurturing, and protection are paramount - a timeless testament to the enduring power of family bonds.
