EDITORS COMMENTS
Anders Leonard Zorn's captivating etching, "Vicke" (1918), showcases the enigmatic and expressive portrait of an elderly man with a thick beard, lost in the world of folk music and the melodic strains of his lute. The image, etched on ivory laid paper, transports us back to the 1910s and the artistic movement of realism that swept through Europe. Zorn masterfully captures the essence of this lutenist or singer, his face illuminated by the soft glow of an unseen light source, as he engages in his musical occupation. The title "Vicke" is believed to be the name of the subject, adding a personal touch to this intimate and introspective work. This evocative print, hailing from Scandinavia and specifically from Sweden, invites us to ponder the rich heritage of the arts and the enduring appeal of traditional music. The time of day is indeterminate, with the night perhaps providing a quiet and contemplative backdrop for this solitary figure. The image is a poignant reminder of the human capacity for creativity and the power of music to transport us to another time and place. The Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and gallery, is proud to house this significant work in its esteemed collection of prints and drawings. "Vicke" is a testament to Zorn's artistic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience through his art.
