EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor print, titled "Trois aquarelles du front; Tranchee entre Bethincourt et le bois de Forges," was created by the French artist Douy Pascault in 1916. The image captures the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I, specifically the trench between Bethincourt and Bois de Forges in the Meuse region of Grand Est, France. The scene is one of mud and water, with the earth held back by makeshift gabions, or crates, stacked haphazardly along the trench walls. The crates, once used for transport, now serve as a temporary solution to prevent the earth from collapsing into the trench during heavy rain and flooding. The use of crates as gabions was a common wartime practice, as the constant digging and refilling of trenches required a steady supply of materials to maintain the fragile structures. The print, which was published in "L'Illustration" in 1916, offers a glimpse into the harsh living conditions endured by soldiers on the front lines. The bad weather, with its relentless rain and flooding, added to the already challenging environment, making it essential for troops to adapt quickly to the ever-changing conditions. The use of color in the print adds depth and emotion to the scene, with the muted browns and greens reflecting the desolate landscape. The concept of the print is both beautiful and haunting, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the soldiers in the face of adversity. This poignant work of art serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the ingenuity required to survive in such a challenging environment.
