EDITORS COMMENTS
- "Les Heures d'Ivresse" (The Hours of Inebriation): Unknown Specimen of Pages Inspired by the Beginning of the Great War, 1914 This and enigmatic lithograph, titled "KULTUR" - "Les Heures d'Ivresse" (The Hours of Inebriation), is a specimen of pages inspired by the beginning of the Great War in 1914. The creator of this allegorical masterpiece remains unknown, but it was first published in the prestigious German illustrated newspaper, Illustrirte Zeitung, in August 1914. The image portrays a vigilant, mythical figure, clad in protective apparel and armed with a sword and shield, standing guard by the coast of the North Sea. The man, with an optimistic expression on his face, dons a casque and a cloak adorned with intricate patterns, evoking the artistic schools of the time. His armor is reminiscent of the militaristic and nationalistic sentiments that permeated Europe in the early 20th century. The allegorical figure represents the concept of KULTUR, which can be interpreted as the guardian of civilization, standing watch over the country and its people during the tumultuous beginning of the war. The title "Les Heures d'Ivresse" may suggest the intoxicating and unpredictable nature of the times, as well as the potential for both intoxication and intoxicated behavior that can arise during times of conflict. This powerful and evocative image, with its rich symbolism and timeless quality, is a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions of human nature during the first world war. The print, which is part of the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and reflect the spirit of the times.
