EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching by Edgar Chahine, titled "Lerand in the Role of Rodin in The Wandering Jew," offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th century European theater. The image features the actor Lerand, dressed in period clothing, assuming the role of the famous sculptor Rodin. With a hat in hand and an umbrella at his side, Lerand exudes an air of intensity and focus as he clutches the hands of two background figures, possibly actors or crew members. The etching, created in 1903, showcases the intricacies of Chahine's drypoint and aquatint technique, resulting in a textured and nuanced representation of the scene. The image transports us to a time and place where art and performance intersected, and where the power of the human body and its expression were at the forefront of both creation and appreciation. This etching is a testament to the enduring allure of the thespian world and the rich heritage of European art.
