<TD VALIGN="top"><B>29. Jean Veber <BR>(1868-1928)</B><BR><I>Beheaded!</I><BR><BR><FONT SIZE="-1">Original drawing in pencil, watercolor and gouache, ca. 1901 (?), 227 x 184 mm. A preliminary pencil sketch plus the finished watercolor and gouache on the same sheet of brownish laid paper, signed in pencil. Veber studied to be a painter but, as fortune would have it, became a famous (and internationally infamous) cartoonist. Like some of his great forebears in that capacity, he could be funny, he could be charming, he could be wildly imaginative, but he could also be intentionally brutal. This is a horrendous image. The screaming young woman is pinned beneath the nude body of a man whose severed head lies on the floor before her in a pool of blood. We do not know the source of this image, but many of Veber’s tougher cartoons were depictions of the sufferings of Boers in British concentration camps during the Boer Wars in South Africa in 1901. Maybe yes, maybe no, but a powerful and brilliantly done drawing.</FONT></TD>
