Uprightness and Hypocrisy,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an illustration by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki from the 1794 Pocket Calendar of Gottingen, offers a thought-provoking commentary on the complexities of human relationships and the thin line between sincerity and deceit. The black and white etching depicts two men, dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century, embracing each other in a heartfelt greeting. The text above reads, "Uprightness and Hypocrisy," while below, "Honorable Friends, how often do we deceive each other!" The scene unfolds in Europe, as indicated by the lettering on the building in the background, which reads "Gottingen," a university town in Germany. The men, representing America and Europe, come together in a display of unity and camaraderie, yet the text beneath the image reveals the underlying truth of their relationship - one of deception and hypocrisy. The contrast between the image and the text adds depth to the meaning of the illustration. The men's sincere embrace is juxtaposed with the acknowledgement of their deceit, highlighting the complexities of human relationships and the importance of honesty and authenticity. This poignant illustration by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki is a testament to the enduring relevance of the themes of friendship, honor, and hypocrisy. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on European and American art of the 18th century. The illustration is currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and the importance of authenticity in an increasingly hypocritical world.
