Home Again 1919

"Home Again" (1919) by Arthur Lismer is a poignant black and white lithograph depicting the return of Canadian soldiers from World War I. The artwork captures the somber yet hopeful mood of the moment, as the soldiers, exhausted but triumphant, disembark a ship. The stark, expressive lines of the print emphasize the figures' weariness, while the crowds gathered on the dock symbolize the anticipation and joy of their homecoming. This work, now housed in the National Gallery of Canada, reflects a significant chapter in Canadian history and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime.
