Extravagances of 1834
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print by the renowned Argentine artist Cesar Hipolito Bacle, created in 1834. The print, now housed at the Isaac Fernandez Blanco Latin American Art Museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina, offers a satirical glimpse into the absurdities and eccentricities of daily life during that era. Bacle masterfully captures the spirit of the age through his intricate and humorous caricature. The central image features a man standing on a balcony, mockingly taunting the people below with an extravagant hat adorned with feathers and a large, elaborate comb. His absurd attire, with its exaggerated proportions and incongruous elements, serves to highlight the fashionable excesses of the time. The print also showcases the rich architectural details of a typical Buenos Aires building from the 19th century, adding depth and context to the scene. The street below teems with a diverse array of people, each engaging in their own daily activities, from a man sharpening a knife to a woman holding a baby. Bacle's "Extravagances of 1834" is a testament to the artist's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the absurdities of his contemporary society. The print's satirical tone offers a unique perspective into the social fabric of Buenos Aires during the 1830s, making it an invaluable addition to the Isaac Fernandez Blanco Latin American Art Museum's collection. The intricately detailed lithography process, employed by Bacle, adds to the print's visual appeal, showcasing the artist's technical mastery and his commitment to capturing the essence of his subject matter. "Extravagances of 1834" is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life and fashionable excesses of Buenos Aires during the 19th century.
