EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Serbian Cavalry, Second Episode, 1916" transports us back to the tumultuous era of the First World War. Created by the talented artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, this artwork captures a poignant moment in history. In this scene, we see a group of Serbian civilians displaced by war. Among them are children and elderly men who sit together with expressions of despair etched on their faces. The artist's masterful use of lithography brings out every detail in this powerful image. Steinlen's satirical approach adds an intriguing layer to the artwork. Through his clever parody, he sheds light on the hardships faced by these local people during wartime. The grandparent figure at the center exudes both strength and vulnerability as he gazes into the distance, perhaps reflecting upon his country's plight. The lithograph itself is a testament to Steinlen's artistic prowess. With scraping on stone over fawn tint on thick off-white wove paper, he creates a textured effect that enhances the emotional impact of the piece. Displayed proudly in an art gallery or institute such as Chicago's Art Institute, this heritage art serves as a reminder of our shared history and collective resilience amidst adversity. It invites viewers to contemplate not only Serbia's struggle but also broader themes such as displacement and human suffering during times of conflict. Through its timeless appeal and evocative imagery, "Serbian Cavalry" continues to captivate audiences today while preserving an important chapter from our past within its intricate lines and shades.
