Ces Croutes-là en Font Manger D'autres,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Those Croutons Are Drinking Others," is a captivating lithograph in black on ivory wove paper created by the renowned French artist Auguste Raffet in 1827-28. This masterpiece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the artist's studio and the creative process of the 19th century. Auguste Raffet, born Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, was a prolific artist known for his lithographs and lithotints. In this particular work, Raffet depicts a solitary figure, a man with a thoughtful expression, seated at an easel in his studio. He is engrossed in his work, with a group of croutons, or small pieces of bread, seemingly coming to life and drinking from various containers on the table before him. The title of the work, "Ces Croutes-là en Font Manger D'autres," adds an element of whimsy and playfulness to the scene. The black and white contrast of the lithograph emphasizes the intricate details of the artist's studio and the human figure, while the croutons, drawn with delicate lines and shading, add a touch of surrealism. Raffet's use of lithography, a printing process that involves drawing on a limestone plate, allowed him to create intricate details and subtle tonal variations, resulting in a stunning and unique artwork. This piece not only showcases the artist's technical skill but also his ability to infuse everyday objects with a sense of wonder and imagination. The location of this work in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection is a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal. "Ces Croutes-là en Font Manger D'autres" is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and the boundless creativity of the human mind.
