EDITORS COMMENTS
The black and white lithograph print titled "On Leave, 1915/17" captures a poignant moment during the First World War. Created by the renowned artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, this artwork showcases his mastery in depicting human emotions and capturing historical events. In this image, three individuals stand together, engaged in conversation. Dressed in their coats and overcoats, they represent civilians who have temporarily left the war-torn country behind to enjoy a brief respite from the horrors of warfare. The soldier at the center wears his helmet as a reminder of his duty while on leave. Steinlen's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this lithograph. The texture of their clothing and expressions on their faces convey both weariness and hopefulness. Through subtle nuances, he portrays not only the physical toll but also the emotional weight carried by those affected by war. This artwork serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of humanity amidst adversity. It invites viewers to reflect upon the sacrifices made during times of conflict while emphasizing our shared experiences across time and place. Displayed at an art gallery or institute such as The Art Institute Chicago, this lithograph continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of wartime life. As we observe these figures frozen in time, we are reminded that even amid chaos, moments of connection can provide solace and strength for those enduring unimaginable circumstances.
