Gustave Dore
Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Dore was a French artist,
printmaker, illustrator and sculptor. Dore worked primarily with wood engraving.
In 1869 the journalist Blanchard Jerrold joined forces with
the famous French artist Gustave Dore to produce an illustrated record of the
‘shadows and sunlight’ of London. Jerrold and Dore spent many days and nights
exploring the capital they visited night refuges, fashionable shows and many
other places in London to get ideas; it took them 4 years to create this
project and published as London with 180 images. But then Dore started to
dislike sketching in public because his work only showed the extremes of
society.
Overall, I find Gustave Dore's work very interesting due to the different techniques he uses in his works. His work has inspired me and I will be using his techniques in my own work in the future.
