Le Lendemain d'un Faune,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Morning After of a Faun," is a humorous take on the great success of Vaslav Nijinsky's groundbreaking ballet, "L'Après-Midi d'un Faune," premiered in 1912. In this satirical print, we find the faun, having failed to abduct the nymph herself, now attempting to make amends for his thievery by returning her wrap. However, the situation has taken an unexpected turn as a baffled policeman, with a poor telephone connection to his chief, attempts to decipher the faun's identity. The cartoon, dated 1913, lampoons the faun's shame-faced expression and his distinctive reed-like horns, which only add to the confusion. The policeman, with a puzzled look on his face, seems to be having trouble distinguishing between "Faune" and "Phone," leading to a comical communication breakdown. The faun, dressed in his faun attire, sits quietly, awaiting the consequences of his actions. This print offers a lighthearted follow-up to the original ballet, poking fun at the faun's failed attempt at abduction and his subsequent arrest. The use of humor and satire adds an entertaining twist to the story, making it a fun and engaging piece of art. The print's playful take on the situation, with its focus on the faun's attire and the policeman's confusion, is sure to bring a smile to the viewer's face.
