EDITORS COMMENTS
Disinterested Boy, Circa 1915 This portrait illustration, created circa 1915, captures the essence of a disinterested young boy as he leans back in a chair, resting his head on his hand with a sideways slumped posture. The boy's expression conveys a sense of boredom or apathy, his eyes glazed over as if lost in thought or daydream. The muted color palette of the illustration adds to the overall sense of melancholy and disengagement. The artist, Dante Mose Conte (not to be confused with the Italian poet Dante Alighieri), expertly captures the mood of a generation of young people growing up at the turn of the 20th century. The boy's attire, with its high collar and loose-fitting trousers, is reminiscent of the fashion trends of the time. This illustration was published in a magazine, likely in January 1916, as part of the "March of the Women" collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection, which focused on social and political issues of the day, provided a platform for artists and illustrators to explore the human condition and the world around them. The Disinterested Boy serves as a poignant reminder of the complex emotions and experiences that shaped the lives of young people during this period of history. His expression of disengagement and ennui resonates with viewers even a century later, making this illustration a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate and intrigue.
