An Exceptionally Peaceful Moment

Herbert Crowley (English, 1873 – 1937)

Herbert was an English artist, set designer, and comic strip cartoonist known for his imaginative and surreal illustrations. An Exceptionally Peaceful Moment (circa 1910) is a charming and introspective work that reflects Crowley’s distinctive artistic style. The piece features a whimsical, rounded creature sitting atop a tree stump in a tranquil forest setting, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation.

Crowley’s art was influenced by Symbolism and Art Nouveau, and he gained recognition for The Wigglemuch, a short-lived yet influential comic strip published in The New York Herald in 1910. His work was also exhibited in the 1913 Armory Show, a pivotal event in modern art history.
