Ends (litho) by Oswald Charles Barrett - A Satirical Depiction of Post-War Reconstruction
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph, titled "Ends" created by Oswald Charles Barrett in the mid-20th century, offers a thought-provoking commentary on post-war reconstruction. The artwork was originally featured in the book "How Should We Rebuild London?" written by C. B. Purdom in 1945. The illustration presents a complex composition that intertwines various elements from different realms of knowledge and history. At its center, we see a crown of thorns symbolizing suffering and sacrifice, juxtaposed with a cross representing Christianity. Surrounding these religious symbols are depictions of wheat and corn, signifying agriculture and sustenance. Barrett's satirical drawing also includes references to science, music, mathematics, astronomy, and literature – all crucial aspects of human progress throughout history. This amalgamation suggests that rebuilding London after the war requires not only physical reconstruction but also intellectual growth. The artist skillfully incorporates imagery related to war as well; an ominous star looms overhead while an open book lies at the bottom corner – perhaps representing lessons learned from past conflicts. Through this intricate composition filled with symbolism and historical references, Barrett invites viewers to contemplate the future of Great Britain amidst the aftermath of World War II. It serves as a reminder that true progress lies not only in physical reconstruction but also in embracing knowledge across various disciplines for a brighter tomorrow.
