A Poem without Words,
EDITORS COMMENTS
created by American artist Henry Mosler in 1886, is a captivating work of art that embodies the ethereal beauty and innocence of the cherubim and putti, or amorini, figures popular in European art of the time. This exquisite pen and ink drawing and graphite on wove paper, with pen and ink wash, measures an impressive 13.3 x 17.8 inches (33.8 x 45.2 cm). Mosler's masterpiece, a product of the 19th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. The scene is set in a serene, otherworldly landscape, where cherubs frolic and play, their delicate wings spread wide as they dance and interact with one another. The figures are depicted in various poses, some in quiet contemplation, others in joyful abandon. Their expressions are filled with mischief, curiosity, and the purest form of love. The use of black colour and grey tones adds depth and contrast, while the intricate details of the figures' delicate features and the delicate textures of their wings are brought to life through Mosler's skilled handwriting and deft use of pen and ink. The scene is further enhanced by the poetic quality of the figures' poses and interactions, which seem to convey a deeper meaning beyond the physical realm. This work of art, now a cherished piece of history, has been exhibited in various galleries and art centres throughout the United States and around the world. It is a reminder of the power of art to transcend language and touch the human soul, inviting us to ponder the beauty and complexity of the human experience. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many prestigious institutions that have showcased this stunning piece, further cementing its place in the annals of art history.
