SEYMOUR JOSEPH GUY. Story of Golden Locks

Story of Golden Locks. Artist: Seymour Joseph Guy (1824-1910). Dimensions: 34 x 28 in. (86.4 x 71.1 cm). Date: ca. 1870. While little known today, the English-born Guy was celebrated in his lifetime for his charming and technically accomplished genre paintings of childhood. In this work, the artist depicts his own children reading a version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." The young girl's menacing bear-like shadow and the boys' wide eyes suggest that they have reached the story's frightening climax. In addition to the didactic message of the fairy tale--warning children not to wander from home--Guy presents his adolescent daughter on the verge of change, turning away from childhood games and assuming a more adult, maternal role.
