EDITORS COMMENTS
Original design for Horresco," is a poignant reminder of the artistic response to the First World War. Created by the renowned British artist Frank Brangwyn in 1919, this print showcases the artist's mastery of the woodcut technique in the black wash medium. Brangwyn, known for his intricate and detailed works, produced this design during the post-war period, reflecting the profound impact of the conflict on the world. The title "Horresco" is not related to a specific company but rather an evocative expression of the artist's emotions towards the horrors of war. The design depicts a hauntingly beautiful landscape, with a barren tree standing tall against a backdrop of desolate ruins. The tree, with its gnarled branches and twisted roots, symbolizes resilience and survival amidst the devastation. The muted tones and intricate details in the woodcut further emphasize the somber mood and the profound sense of loss. Brangwyn's "Original design for Horresco" is a poignant testament to the power of art to capture the human experience and convey the emotions of a generation that lived through the First World War.
