EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Serbian Exodus, plate twenty-one from Actualites, 1915, published January 1916 captures the heart-wrenching reality of war and its impact on innocent lives. This poignant lithograph by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery, portrays a scene from World War I that showcases the struggles faced by Serbian civilians during their forced displacement. In this image, we witness a mother carrying her bundle of belongings while clutching onto her young child tightly. The weariness in her eyes reflects the hardships endured as they flee their homeland in search of safety. Surrounding them are other families also embarking on this arduous journey, each burdened with their possessions and hopes for a better future. Steinlen's masterful use of lithography brings forth an emotional depth to this artwork. The contrast between light and shadow evokes a sense of despair while emphasizing the resilience and determination etched on these individuals' faces. This print serves as a powerful reminder not only of the human cost of war but also highlights themes such as motherhood, family bonds, and sacrifice amidst adversity. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation capturing one chapter in Serbia's tragic exodus during World War I. "
