Soldier Thrown in Air, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating gelatin silver print captured by Lewis Wickes Hine during the early 20th century. This photograph showcases a group of American soldiers engaged in an exhilarating moment of amusement amidst the backdrop of war. In this powerful image, we witness the soldier being thrown mid-air, his body suspended with laughter and enjoyment. The blanket beneath him adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise serious period in history. Hine's masterful portraiture captures not only the physical act but also conveys a deeper concept - that even in times of hardship and sacrifice, moments of joy can be found. As we delve into this vintage artwork, it becomes evident that Hine aimed to immortalize these brave men who fought for their country. Their camaraderie shines through as they come together to create memories amidst chaos and uncertainty. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Soldier Thrown in Air, 1917" stands as a testament to both Hine's artistic prowess and his dedication to documenting significant historical events. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and evoke emotions long after its creation. This photograph is not just an ordinary snapshot; it represents resilience, unity, and the indomitable spirit of those who served their nation during one of its most challenging periods.
