EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that tells a tragic tale of loss and perseverance amidst the destruction of war. The image depicts an Italian man, his face etched with desperation, searching through the wreckage of his collapsed home in Milan. In this heart-wrenching scene, he tirelessly rummages day and night for his hidden savings - three hundred twenty-two thousand lire - which were concealed within a space heater. The story behind this illustration is both poignant and haunting. After surviving bombing raids during World War II, the old man's hopes are shattered as he realizes that his treasure has been buried beneath the rubble. Despite facing immense danger and personal tragedy, he refuses to give up on recovering what remains of his life's savings. As fate would have it, one evening while continuing his search, the old man meets a tragic end when struck by a tram. However, before passing away, he entrusts his daughter with the task of carrying on the relentless pursuit for their buried fortune. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of the devastating impact war can have on individuals' lives and livelihoods. It captures not only the physical destruction caused by bombings but also highlights how people cling to hope even in dire circumstances. "The Buried Treasure (Colour Litho)" invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as resilience, loss, and human determination in times of adversity.
