Serbia - Sister Anne, plate twenty from Actualites, published January 1916 - A Glimpse into the Humanitarian Spirit of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen offers a poignant snapshot of Serbia during the First World War. Titled "Sister Anne" it portrays a nun standing on a cliff overlooking an awe-inspiring landscape. Clad in her traditional cloak, she holds two babies close to her heart, symbolizing compassion and protection amidst the chaos of war. Steinlen's artistry beautifully captures the resilience and selflessness displayed by individuals like Sister Anne during this tumultuous period. Through his masterful use of lithography, he conveys both the strength and vulnerability that coexist within humanity. The image not only showcases Steinlen's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the power of faith and devotion in times of adversity. As Serbia faced immense hardships during this era, Sister Anne represents hope and solace for those affected by conflict. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork stands as a reminder of our shared history and collective responsibility towards one another. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, compassion, and unity that transcend time. Steinlen's lithograph continues to resonate with audiences today due to its timeless message: even in moments marked by stormy skies and uncertainty, acts of kindness can illuminate our path forward.
