The War 1919

Georg Mayer-Marton's "The War" (1919) is a poignant depiction of the aftermath of World War I. Created in the immediate years following the conflict, the ink drawing captures the devastation and displacement experienced by civilians. The dark, stormy sky overhead and the somber, hastily drawn figures evoke a sense of despair and uncertainty. The artwork serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the lasting impact it can have on individuals and society.
