The War of 1914. First Series. Emperor William in Anger, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative print captured by Auguste Louis Lepere during the tumultuous times of World War I. This striking woodcut depicts Emperor William, the German leader at that time, consumed by anger as he navigates through the chaos and destruction of war. Lepere's artistic skill shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to capture raw emotions with intricate details and bold lines. The intensity on Emperor William's face is palpable, reflecting the frustration and rage felt by many leaders during this devastating conflict. The choice to depict him amidst the backdrop of war adds another layer of symbolism to the image. It serves as a reminder of how power can be both destructive and consuming when fueled by anger. This historic artwork holds great significance as it offers viewers a glimpse into one man's emotional state during an era defined by violence and turmoil. As we observe this print today, it prompts us to reflect on the consequences of unchecked aggression and reminds us of our collective responsibility to strive for peace. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this woodcut continues to captivate audiences with its timeless message about the human cost of war. Its presence in their collection speaks volumes about its artistic merit and historical importance within French art history.
