EDITORS COMMENTS
Depart, they say, and die a little (colour litho) by Beltrame, Achille captures the bittersweet emotions of leaving one's homeland for a long journey. In this vibrant illustration from 1924, we witness the Australians departing for Europe on a ship, bidding farewell to their loved ones who remain behind. As the ship sets sail, sparklers light up the night sky symbolizing their determination to maintain a symbolic bond despite the physical distance. The scene is filled with colorful ribbons streaming through the air as families and friends hold onto each other tightly. The children wave goodbye with both excitement and sadness in their eyes while women and men exchange affectionate gestures. This artwork beautifully portrays the deep connection between people and places. Beltrame's attention to detail brings out every emotion felt during this departure - tenderness, curiosity, tradition - all captured within this single image. The artist skillfully depicts not only the individuals embarking on this voyage but also showcases Australia's diverse culture through its representation of different regions like South Australia and West Australian. This print serves as a poignant reminder that leaving home is never easy; it requires courage and strength to venture into unknown territories. 'Depart, they say, and die a little' encapsulates both the joyous anticipation of new adventures ahead as well as an acknowledgment of what is left behind.
