More about this artwork

"The Rocket Book Pl 02" painted by Peter Newell in 1912, captures a distinct scene brimming with humor and surprise. The illustration, part of a story that weaves through a sequence of unexpected chaos, shows a family seated at dinner when suddenly they are interrupted by an unusual green rocket shooting straight through their table. The astonishment and dismay are palpable in the expressions of the mother, father, and their guests as tableware is tossed aside by the intrusive object.Newell's use of muted colors and detailed expressions convey a sense of quiet routine shattered by the bizarre event. The blend of everyday life with extraordinarily surreal occurrences invites viewers to ponder the juxtaposition of the ordinary with the fantastical. This painting not only showcases Newell’s penchant for integrating humor and fantasy but also provides a moment of comic relief while intriguing the viewer's imagination about the source and consequence of the rocket’s unexpected visit.
