EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and thought-provoking print captures the essence of a historical moment during the First World War. Titled "La bonne croix" this poster for Le Mot, published on Saturday 30th January 1915, showcases the exceptional talent of artist Paul Iribe. The image portrays a male soldier, his body adorned with a red cross symbolizing his role as a medic or aid worker. However, what truly captivates is the striking juxtaposition between this brave figure and an enormous crucifixion scene in the background. The soldier's outstretched arms mirror those of Christ on the cross, evoking powerful emotions and highlighting sacrifice in times of war. Iribe's use of color lithography adds depth to this artwork, enhancing its impact on viewers. The vivid hues bring life to both the soldier and the crucified figure behind him while simultaneously emphasizing their contrasting roles – one representing hope and salvation amidst chaos, while the other embodies suffering and martyrdom. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection at Fine Art Finder, we are reminded not only of the immense sacrifices made during World War I but also of humanity's resilience in times of adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amid darkness and despair, acts of compassion can shine through like beacons of light - just like La bonne croix depicted here by Paul Iribe.
