EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this thought-provoking print titled "Indifferent (Indifferente), 1900" created by Paul Albert Besnard, we are transported to a realm where allegorical figures come alive. This black and white etching on van Gelder Zonen wove paper captures the essence of indifference with remarkable precision. At first glance, we encounter a male figure standing amidst a desolate country landscape. The man's stoic expression and nonchalant posture exude an air of detachment from his surroundings. With the grim reaper's scythe in hand and a skeletal figure beside him, it becomes apparent that death is not far away. Besnard masterfully conveys the concept of indifference through this haunting image. The allegory serves as a powerful reminder of our own mortality and the fleeting nature of life itself. It challenges us to reflect upon our actions, urging us to question whether we too have become indifferent towards the world around us. Displayed within the National Gallery of Art, this piece stands as a milestone in artistic expression during the early 20th century. Besnard's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to every stroke, creating an atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. "Indifferent (Indifferente), 1900" invites viewers to contemplate their own attitudes towards life and society. It serves as both a warning against apathy and an invitation for intros
