Pour l’homme de demain 1914 - 1919

"Pour l’homme de demain" (For the Man of Tomorrow) is a poignant lithograph created by French artist Jean-Louis Forain between 1914 and 1919. This artwork depicts a woman comforting a young child amidst a backdrop of smoke and devastation, likely a reflection of the horrors of World War I. Forain, known for his satirical social commentary, uses the stark contrast of the figures' vulnerability against the looming smoke to convey the brutal impact of war on ordinary people. "Pour l’homme de demain" serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and its lasting impact on individuals and societies.
