EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Robinson Crusoe on his desert island, as imagined by French writer Paul Valery. The illustration, created by Valery himself, is a frontispiece in one of his notebooks that were later published posthumously in 1950 under the title "Histoires ees". In this evocative artwork, Robinson Crusoe stands alone on the sandy beach, donning a hat adorned with a feather and holding a walking stick. His gaze is fixed upon a snake slithering nearby. The image exudes an air of solitude and adventure as Robinson Crusoe navigates life on his isolated island. The palm trees sway gently in the background, adding to the tropical ambiance. Valery's watercolor technique brings depth and vibrancy to this fictional character's world. The illustration not only showcases Valery's artistic talent but also serves as a visual representation of loneliness and resilience faced by individuals in unfamiliar environments. It invites viewers to ponder the challenges faced by those who find themselves stranded or disconnected from society. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Patrice Cartier, we are reminded of both the beauty and complexities found within literature and visual arts. This image transports us into the realm of imagination where even desolate islands can become extraordinary landscapes filled with wonder and mystery.
