Consecration of the Colors (Fahnenweihe) 1911

Moriz Jung's 1911 woodcut, *Consecration of the Colors*, depicts a caricature of a man in military uniform, his exaggerated features and pose emphasizing the absurdity of nationalism and war. The artwork, part of a larger series exploring the themes of war and politics, uses bold colors and stark outlines to create a striking visual impact. Jung, a short-lived artist, was known for his satirical and often critical works, reflecting the turbulent political climate of early 20th century Germany. *Consecration of the Colors* is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
