EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "National Assistance, 1915/17" captures a poignant moment during the First World War. Created by the talented artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, this black and white lithograph depicts a scene of compassion and unity amidst the turmoil of war. In this powerful image, we see a group of local people coming together to assist those in need. An elderly man is supported by a nurse while an old woman receives medicine from another caregiver. Children stand nearby, their innocent faces reflecting both concern and hope for their country. Steinlen's masterful use of lithography brings depth and emotion to each figure portrayed in this artwork. The contrast between light and dark highlights the resilience of these individuals as they navigate through challenging times. This piece serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, humanity prevails. It showcases the strength found within communities when faced with adversity. Through his artistry, Steinlen immortalizes not only the physical assistance provided but also the spirit of compassion that unites us all. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print stands as a testament to our shared history and collective responsibility towards one another. It invites viewers to reflect on how acts of kindness can transcend borders and time periods – reminding us that helping others is an integral part of our human heritage.
