EDITORS COMMENTS
The black and white lithograph titled "National Holiday, July 1894" by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen captures a nostalgic scene from 19th century France. In this charming artwork, three generations of people come together to celebrate their country's national holiday. A group of children, both boys and girls, joyfully hold hands as they walk alongside an elderly man who could be their grandfather or grandad. The artist beautifully portrays the diversity of social classes in this era. Set against the backdrop of a Parisian street at night, the lithograph exudes a sense of community and unity. Steinlen's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of each individual character - from the mischievous expressions on the children's faces to the weathered features of the old men. This print not only showcases Steinlen's artistic talent but also serves as a historical document that transports us back in time. It offers a glimpse into French culture during an important moment in history when patriotism was celebrated with fervor. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this lithograph reminds viewers of our shared heritage and encourages us to appreciate our roots while embracing progress. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide, serving as a testament to Steinlen's ability to capture human emotions through his masterful use of lithography technique.
