More about this artwork

"Wandering about and ‘boo-hoo’-ing" by Arthur Rackham (1911) portrays a heartfelt moment within a lush, whimsical landscape. In this enchanting illustration, two children stand at the forefront, both overwhelmed by emotion. The child to the left has his mouth open wide in a cry, tears possibly welling in his eyes, conveying a sense of deep distress or fright. His companion, holding his cap over his head, also exhibits a look of angst or fear. This emotional display is set against the backdrop of a meandering river that leads our eyes through the scene, framed by an intricately detailed forest with winding tree branches and dense foliage.Rackham's distinctive style, characterized by its fine lines and muted color palette, lends a dreamlike quality to the scene, blurring the lines between reality and the imaginative worlds he preferred to depict. The engaging texture and detail invite viewers to linger over the image, perhaps recalling their own childhood experiences of adventure and emotional intensity. This painting not only captures the innocence and intensity of youthful emotions but also the beauty and mystery of the natural world.

Arthur Rackham (19 September 1867 – 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator.
