EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Apocalypse, 1936" takes us back to the turbulent era of the early 20th century. Created by Eric Gill, a renowned artist from 1882 to 1940, this wood engraving showcases his exceptional talent and unique perspective on the world. In this monochrome masterpiece, an angel with strikingly big eyes and majestic wings stands at the forefront. The intensity in her gaze reflects both sorrow and determination as she witnesses the destruction surrounding her. Cramped buildings crumble under the weight of industrial infrastructure while bridges collapse into rivers below. Gill's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his woodcut technique. From mill stones grinding away in chaos to women grappling with their own fears amidst the apocalypse, each element tells a story within itself. The black and white composition adds depth and contrast, emphasizing the stark reality of devastation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, there is still beauty to be found – albeit tinged with melancholy. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print holds historical significance beyond its artistic merit. It transports us back in time when society grappled with rapid change and uncertainty. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within a private collection, this wood engraving invites viewers to reflect upon our collective past while contemplating our future. Its timeless message resonates through generations: that even during times of despair, hope can emerge from ruins like an angel spreading its wings against all odds.
