EDITORS COMMENTS
Drink, drink, brother drink! (colour litho) captures a poignant scene from early 20th century Germany. This postcard-turned-artwork depicts a dog sitting in an armchair, surrounded by an endless supply of beer cans on a conveyor belt. The image serves as a powerful commentary on the continuous abuse of alcohol and the consequences of idleness. The invention showcased in this print symbolizes the dark side of technology - enabling laziness and excess consumption. The spilled beer represents the wastefulness that comes with such indulgence. The presence of a walking stick suggests that the figure in the armchair may be elderly or disabled, further highlighting their reliance on this harmful habit. The artist's choice to depict a pet as partaking in this scene adds another layer to its meaning. It raises questions about how our actions can inadvertently influence those around us, even our beloved companions. Through this artwork, we are confronted with themes of addiction, innovation gone awry, and societal issues surrounding alcoholism. It serves as a reminder to reflect upon our own relationship with substances and consider how they impact not only ourselves but also those closest to us. This thought-provoking piece is part of Valerie Jackson Harris' private collection and offers viewers an opportunity for introspection amidst its striking imagery.
