Fish Fishing for People
by GRANDVILLE, Jean-Jacques, Print
This print is part of the series Un Autre Monde.
Duality is a source of wistful comedy. Grandville, the ‘king of caricature’, in disturbing prints like his series Today’s Metamorphoses (1829) and Un Autre Monde (1844), animated flowers, animals dressed as humans, or as in Fish Fishing for People, exchanging roles with them, suggest the uncontrollable transformations that our multiple identities might produce.
