Caricaturist Painter Phil 1895 Propping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of David Ossipovitch Widhopff (1867-1933), a Russian and French painter, caricaturist, and poster artist, in a playful moment during the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1895, shows Widhopff in a casual setting, propping up the bar with a drink in hand. Known for his versatility and talent, Widhopff's artistic repertoire spanned various genres, from portraits to caricatures and poster designs. Born in Russia, Widhopff studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg before moving to Paris in the late 1880s to further his artistic education. In the City of Light, he became part of a vibrant artistic community that included Toulouse-Lautrec, Steinlen, and Forain. Widhopff's work was influenced by the Impressionist and Art Nouveau movements, and he is best known for his caricatures and satirical posters. The photograph, taken by Phil May, captures Widhopff's charisma and creative spirit. The artist's expressive face, with its intense gaze and mischievous smile, is a testament to his ability to convey emotion through his art. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a talented and influential artist, whose work continues to captivate audiences today.
