EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures a moment of longing and uncertainty during the turbulent times of the Spanish Civil War. The cover of Catalan magazine L'Esquella de la Torratxa from September 1937 features a poignant drawing by Avelli Artis Gener, known as Tisner, depicting a soldier on the Republican side asking his loved one, "Hey honey, when are we having dinner together again?" The emotional plea in this artwork reflects the personal sacrifices made by individuals caught up in the chaos of war. The simple question posed by the soldier conveys both a yearning for normalcy and an acknowledgment of the harsh realities they face. Tisner's skillful rendering captures not only the physical toll of conflict but also its emotional impact on those left behind. Through his artistry, he brings to life a moment that resonates with anyone who has experienced separation and longing. As we reflect on this historical period through Tisner's drawings, we are reminded of the human cost of war and the enduring power of love and connection in even the darkest times. This image serves as a reminder to cherish our relationships and hold onto hope for better days ahead.
