EDITORS COMMENTS
The Eyes Have It: A Glimpse into the Past through the Power of Gazes, 1914 In this illustration from the November 21, 1914, edition of Puck magazine, the eyes of a young woman, framed in a bust portrait, lock eyes with the vibrant nightlife scene unfolding in the background. The juxtaposition of the still, introspective gaze of the woman and the chaotic energy of the city creates a striking contrast, inviting viewers to ponder the depths of human emotion and the allure of urban life. The woman's enchanting eyes, with their expressive depth and captivating allure, seem to reach out beyond the confines of the portrait, drawing the viewer into her world. Meanwhile, the cityscape bursts with life, as revelers frolic in the streets, carriages race by, and the night sky is illuminated by the warm glow of street lamps and neon signs. This image, which appears in the cartoon section of Puck, a prominent American humor magazine, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The illustration not only showcases the artistic talents of the time but also provides a window into the cultural zeitgeist of the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring power of the human gaze and the ability of art to transport us across time and space. This enchanting illustration, with its captivating juxtaposition of the woman's eyes and the urban scene, is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the timeless nature of human connection.
