Autoren-Porträt von George Du Maurier
George Du Maurier, born George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier on March 6, 1834, was a French-born British cartoonist and author known for his satirical illustrations in magazines such as Punch. Du Maurier moved to England during his childhood and eventually studied at the Royal Academy. His graphic artistry garnered attention, leading to his contributions to the satirical magazine Punch, where he gained fame for his social and political commentary through visual art. His body of work, which includes the notable 'Social Pictorial Satire', reveals his adeptness at examining and critiquing societal norms and behaviors with wit and insight. Although this specific title is less well-known today, it is indicative of his sharp eye for the mores and follies of Victorian society. Beyond his success as an illustrator, Du Maurier also achieved literary acclaim with his novels, most famously 'Trilby' (1894), which introduced the character Svengali and spawned a cultural phenomenon. His literary style is marked by a blending of humor with a keen observation of human character and social dynamics. His works often underscore the intersection of the visual and the written word, a characteristic also evident in his novels Peter Ibbetson and The Martian. He passed away on October 8, 1896, leaving behind a legacy of artistic influence that bridged both visual and narrative art forms.
