EDITORS COMMENTS
Dawn, 1917" is a poignant and powerful drawing by renowned British artist John Hassall, created on July 12, 1917, during the tumultuous period of the First World War. This evocative work of art captures the raw emotion and profound impact of the war on the human spirit. The image depicts a solitary figure of a soldier, his face obscured by the shadow of a tin helmet, gazing intently into the distance. His long, staring eyes reflect the dim light of the early dawn, mirroring the somber and reflective mood of the scene. The man's expression is one of deep contemplation, as if he is lost in thought, perhaps reflecting on the horrors he has witnessed or the loved ones he has left behind. The use of heavy lines and bold, graphic shapes adds to the sense of intensity and emotion in the drawing. The muted colors of the image, dominated by shades of gray and brown, further emphasize the desolate and bleak landscape of the battlefield. Hassall's "Dawn, 1917" is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the profound impact it has on the souls of those who experience it. This powerful and moving work of art continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the complex and often unspoken emotions of soldiers during the First World War. This drawing is a testament to Hassall's exceptional artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical and artistic works related to the First World War.
