EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'Women Painters,' is a poignant reminder of the significant role women played during World War I as men were called to the battlefields of the Western Front. Created by Archibald Standish Hartrick in 1918, this image is part of a set of twelve lithographs published in a portfolio entitled 'Playing the Game, War Work 1914-1918' for Underground General. The collection showcases women taking over various roles previously held by men, symbolizing the transformation and resilience of society during wartime. The suffragette movement, advocating for women's rights and suffrage, had gained momentum leading up to the war. With men leaving for the frontlines, women seized opportunities to contribute to the war effort in various capacities, including the arts. Hartrick's depiction of women painters reflects this shift, as they diligently work in a studio setting, demonstrating their dedication and skill. The lithograph, created by Hartrick in 1918, is an essential piece of social history, highlighting the determination and adaptability of women during a time of great upheaval. As the world watched men go off to war, women rose to the challenge, taking on new responsibilities and proving their worth in various fields. This powerful image serves as a testament to their courage and the indelible impact they made on society.
