{"product_id":"les-metamorphoses-du-jour-6","title":"Concert Vocals by J.J. Grandville","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis enchanting hand-colored lithograph from J.J. Grandville's celebrated satirical masterwork \"Les Métamorphoses du Jour\" depicts a delightfully absurd vocal concert. Bulls in formal attire sing bass and tenor parts, a turkey in a pink bonnet warbles the upper register, a dignified goose in pink silk performs as prima donna, and a grinning monkey conducts the ensemble with chaotic enthusiasm. Each sheet of music is labeled with its vocal part, adding to the wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandville's genius lay in revealing human nature through zoological transformation. Here, the pretensions of bourgeois musical society are laid bare: the bovine solemnity of amateur singers, the preening vanity of would-be divas, and the simian showmanship of conductors. This particular print comes from the respected 1854 Havard edition, published in Paris with text by several noted writers and a scholarly introduction by the critic Charles Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of French Romantic illustration, this work bridges caricature and the proto-surrealist imagination that would later influence artists from Tenniel to the Surrealists themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\" x 10.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.J.
