Kammerade. Porquoi cette froideur c. 1914 - 1919

"Kammerade. Pourquoi cette froideur" is a charcoal drawing by French artist Jean-Louis Forain, created sometime between 1914 and 1919. The sketch depicts two soldiers in the midst of a conversation, one standing with arms outstretched, the other standing straight-backed and looking away. The setting appears to be a desolate landscape, potentially a trench or battlefield, emphasizing the harsh realities of war and the alienation experienced by soldiers during this period. Forain is known for his satirical and poignant depictions of social commentary, and this artwork serves as a testament to his artistic abilities in capturing the human condition amidst the backdrop of war.
