EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Dawn, 1917" by Augustus John takes us back to the haunting era of World War I. The image, originally published in "The Illustrated War Record of the Most Notable Episodes in the Great European War 1914-1918" transports us to a time when death loomed over Europe. In this monochrome masterpiece, we see a somber female figure standing amidst the first light of dawn. Her silhouette is shrouded in mystery as she gazes into an uncertain future. The artist's use of contrasting tones emphasizes her solitude and resilience during these tumultuous times. Augustus John skillfully captures both the physical and emotional toll that war had on women during this period. As they took on new roles and faced unimaginable loss, their strength became a beacon of hope amidst chaos. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. It symbolizes not only their struggle but also their unwavering determination to rebuild and find solace in each new day. "The Dawn, 1917" stands as a testament to Augustus John's ability to convey complex emotions through his artistry. It invites viewers to reflect upon history's darkest moments while honoring those who endured them with grace and courage.
