EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Flying Monster" by Robert Caney, transports us back to the 19th century with its antique charm and intriguing depiction of a mythical creature. The British artist, Caney, masterfully created this illustration using watercolor with gray and gray brown wash, graphite, and white gouache on light tan board. The flying monster, with its expressive eyes and sinuous form, appears poised in mid-air against a backdrop of swirling clouds and dramatic skies. Caney's "Flying Monster" is not just a work of art but a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century. The use of gouache and graphite adds depth and texture to the illustration, bringing the monster to life in a way that invites the viewer to imagine the story behind it. The monster's form and the way it is depicted could have been influenced by the performing arts of the time, particularly the set designs and scenes from plays and exhibitions at theatres such as the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the National Gallery of Art in Britain and Washington. The historical significance of this artwork is further emphasized by its connection to the theatre, with its theatrical setting and dramatic composition. The monster's appearance is reminiscent of the fantastical creatures that graced the stages of theatres during the 19th century, adding to the overall sense of wonder and imagination. Overall, Robert Caney's "Flying Monster" is a stunning example of the artistic vision and creativity of the 19th century, and a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to other worlds and times.
