EDITORS COMMENTS
Will You Help the Women of France?, 1917" is a powerful and evocative color lithograph on cream wove paper laid down on linen by the renowned American artist, Edward Penfield. This masterpiece was created during the tumultuous 1910s, a time when the world was embroiled in the First World War. The image captures the spirit of the war effort and the vital role that women played in supporting the home front, particularly in France. The composition features three women, their faces etched with determination and resolve, as they work together to plow a field. The eldest woman, dressed in traditional French peasant attire, wears a colorful headdress and pulls a heavy plow, her muscles taut with effort. The younger woman, an American, assists her, wearing a simple headscarf and holding the reins. The third woman, also American, stands nearby, her arms loaded with sheaves of wheat. The text above the image, written in bold capital letters, reads "Will You Help the Women of France?" This poignant question serves as a call to action for viewers to support the women of France in their time of need. The image is a testament to the unity and cooperation between nations during a time of war and the vital role that women played in the agricultural sector. The use of color and Penfield's expert lithography techniques bring the image to life, making it a powerful and enduring work of art. This print is a significant addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on the First World War, 20th-century art, or the role of women in history. It can be found in many prestigious galleries and museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
