About Awake Groa Awake Mother

The artwork titled “Awake Groa Awake Mother,” created by John Bauer in 1911, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of illustration. It is part of the series “Our Fathers’ Godsaga.”

In the artwork, a mysterious nocturnal scene unfolds under a serene crescent moon and a star-studded sky. The composition features a diminutive figure, likely a young person, standing on the right, encased in an atmosphere of looming darkness and quiet mysticism. The figure is depicted in a pose that suggests a narrative interaction, raising their arm towards an almost indistinct larger form in the background, which is evocative of a natural rock formation or a mythical being. The muted color palette and the delicate interplay of light and shadow underscore the illustration’s ethereal and dreamlike quality. This piece, like much of Bauer’s work, immerses the viewer in the folklore and fantastical elements, providing a palpable sense of wonder and introspection.
