EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: CUBISM, 1913. Seeing New York with a Cubist - The Rude Descending a Staircase" takes us back to the early 20th century, immersing us in the world of modern art and satire. Created by The Granger Collection, this artwork captures the essence of cubism and its impact on society during that time. The image depicts a crowded rush hour scene at a subway station in New York City. It is inspired by Marcel Duchamp's famous painting "Nude Descending a Staircase" which caused quite a stir when it was first exhibited. In this cartoon adaptation from The Evening Sun newspaper in March 1913, the artist adds humor and irony to his depiction of people descending the staircase. Through clever use of cubist elements such as fragmented shapes and multiple perspectives, the cartoon satirizes both the chaotic nature of rush hour in NYC and Duchamp's groundbreaking artwork simultaneously. This fusion creates an intriguing visual experience that challenges traditional artistic conventions while poking fun at everyday life. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, we are transported back to an era where art was breaking boundaries and pushing societal norms. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling crowds and mundane routines, there is always room for creativity, imagination, and laughter.
