EDITORS COMMENTS
, a powerful and iconic poster created by German artist Wera von Bartels in 1919, is a poignant representation of the social and political turmoil that gripped Germany during the aftermath of the First World War. This color lithography print, now part of a private collection, serves as a vivid reminder of the hopes, fears, and aspirations of the German people during the chaotic period of the Weimar Republic. Bartels, a prominent figure in the German art scene, skillfully employed the medium of poster design to convey the urgent demands of the population. The central image of the poster shows a mother holding her malnourished child, her expression a mix of despair and determination, while in the background, a man in a military uniform turns his back on the scene, symbolizing the abandonment of the military establishment in addressing the people's needs. The title, "Peace, Work, Bread!", encapsulates the three fundamental desires of the German population: an end to the ongoing conflict, employment opportunities, and adequate food supplies. The poster's creation came during a pivotal moment in German history. The First World War had ended, but the country was left in ruins, with millions of people suffering from food shortages, unemployment, and political instability. The German Revolution, which began in late 1918, brought about significant changes in the country's political landscape, including the establishment of the Weimar Republic. Bartels' "Peace, Work, Bread!" poster became a rallying cry for the German people, reflecting their deep-seated desire for a better future. As a testament to its historical significance, this powerful image continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of art to inspire change. The "Peace, Work, Bread!" poster stands as a powerful symbol of the hopes and dreams of a people seeking to rebuild their shattered world.
