EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ugliness and Beauty from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the artistic brilliance of Theodore Maurisset. The image depicts a thought-provoking concept that explores the perception of beauty and ugliness in society. In this intriguing composition, we see a group of men and women gathered around a mirror. Their reflections reveal contrasting images - on one side stands an elegant woman radiating beauty, while on the other side lurks a devilish figure representing ugliness. This powerful visual representation challenges our conventional notions of attractiveness and invites us to question societal standards. The engraving skillfully captures the diverse reactions among those watching their own reflections. Some appear captivated by their own beauty or horrified by their perceived ugliness, while others seem contemplative or even indifferent. Through this artwork, Maurisset confronts viewers with their own self-esteem and forces them to reflect upon how they perceive themselves in relation to societal ideals. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness both the timeless struggle between inner demons and personal acceptance as well as the ever-changing nature of beauty throughout history. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not only in physical appearance but also within one's character and self-perception.
