EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Civil war (colour litho)" by Wilhelm Anton Wellner takes us back to early 20th century Berlin, Germany. The image portrays a satirical cartoon depicting Georg Reicke, the Mayor of Berlin at that time, as a green chicken being chased into the Rotes Rathaus (town hall) by other chickens who represent caricatures of German artists. This illustration was originally featured in Lustige Blatter in 1913. The artist's clever use of color and satire brings to life the political tensions and power struggles within the city during this period. The vibrant colors add depth and intensity to the scene, highlighting the anger and bitterness felt by those involved. The image not only serves as a humorous commentary on politics but also reflects on human emotions such as rage and furor. It captures a moment where seven deadly sins are embodied through these animated characters. Through this artwork, we get a glimpse into old Berlin with its historic buildings lining the streets. It reminds us of how art has always been used as a medium for social commentary throughout history. This print from Fine Art Finder is an intriguing piece that combines elements of humor, politics, and artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of our shared history while showcasing the talent and creativity of Wilhelm Anton Wellner.
