17th -20th century · fable, hunting, snow and color
The painted fox oscillates between lent intelligence and animal observation. Frans Snyders illustrates the fable of the fox and the heron by the contrast between two ways of eating: the story humanizes the animals to speak of reciprocity and cunning. Gustave Courbet isolates a fox in the snow; fur, cold breath and terrain give a material presence far removed from the abstract symbol. Bruno Liljefors, observer of northern fauna, paints a family of foxes in a habitat where camouflage and posture count as much as the anecdote. Franz Marc finally frees the blue-black Fox from natural color: curves, facets and deep tones seek an inner vision of the animal. Of morality to ecology then to expression, the fox above all reveals the evolution of the human gaze. The "Fox Paintings" selection notably compares The Fable of the Fox and the Heron and The Fox in the Snow. His reading favors details.
The fox survives in painting because he escapes every role: fable character, prey, attentive parent or colorful form.
