Grandville, Jean-Ignace-Isidore

Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ iɲas izidɔʁ ʒeʁaʁ]; 13 September 1803 – 17 March 1847) was a prolific French illustrator and caricaturist who published under the pseudonym of Grandville ([ɡʁɑ̃vil] ), and numerous variations (e. g. Jean-Jacques Grandville, Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville) throughout his career. Art historians and critics have called him "the first star of French caricature's great age", and described his illustrations as featuring "elements of the symbolic, dreamlike, and incongruous" while retaining a sense of social commentary, and "the strangest and most pernicious transfigurement of the human shape ever produced by the Romantic imagination".

Mental health advocacy groups, including the Samaritans and Mind, have used Blue Monday to facilitate talk about mental health.
