EDITORS COMMENTS
The Crescent in Wartime, 1939 (pastel) captures the haunting beauty of a war-torn Britain. In this poignant artwork by David Foggie, we are transported to a snowy winter night during World War II. The scene depicts a bustling square filled with people seeking refuge in communal bomb shelters. The pastel medium adds an ethereal quality to the image, enhancing the sense of vulnerability and resilience that characterized life on the home front. Foggie's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his brush conveys the bitter coldness and frosty atmosphere surrounding these makeshift sanctuaries. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the distant echoes of air raid sirens and feel the tension in the air. It serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary citizens bravely endured relentless bomb raids while striving for normalcy amidst chaos. Displayed at The McManus museum in Dundee, UK, this artwork stands as a testament to both British and Scottish resilience during wartime. It pays homage to those who sought solace within these temporary structures - symbols of unity and strength against adversity. 'The Crescent in Wartime' invites us to reflect on our shared history and reminds us that even in times of darkness, hope can still be found.
