Study for Exodus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful charcoal and chalk drawing by the renowned Belgian artist Frank Brangwyn, created during the tumultuous year of 1918, towards the end of the First World War. Brangwyn, born in Belgium but living and working in England, captured the poignant image of Belgian civilian refugees fleeing their homes, a poignant reminder of the human cost of the conflict. The haunting composition depicts a chaotic scene of people of all ages, carrying their meager possessions and children in their arms, as they make their way through a muddy landscape, with the horizon filled with smoke and the looming threat of war. The desperation and fear etched on their faces are palpable, as they leave behind their former lives and embark on an uncertain journey. Brangwyn's masterful use of charcoal and chalk creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene and making the plight of these refugees all the more real. The drawing is a poignant reminder of the mass displacement that occurred during the First World War, with millions of people forced to flee their homes due to the ravages of war. This Study for Exodus is a testament to Brangwyn's ability to capture the human spirit in the face of adversity, and serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of war on civilians. The drawing was created in the 1910s, a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War, and remains a powerful and moving work of art to this day.
