EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "We Two. The War Lord And His Ally" takes us back to the year 1914, amidst the chaos of World War I. Illustrated by Ken Welsh, this allegorical depiction showcases a grim and haunting concept that resonates with the destructive nature of war. In this striking illustration, we see a German commander seated atop a zeppelin, symbolizing Germany's military might during wartime. However, what truly captures our attention is the presence of Death itself - represented by a skeleton sitting alongside the commander. This personification of Death serves as a powerful reminder of the inevitable consequences and loss brought about by war. The image portrays an eerie atmosphere as Death calmly sits beside its ally, further emphasizing the dark realities faced on both sides of conflict. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Welsh skillfully conveys not only Germany's involvement in WWI but also highlights universal themes surrounding mortality and destruction caused by warfare. As an example of propaganda from that era, "We Two" reflects how art was utilized to shape public opinion and garner support for various nations involved in the war effort. Its impact lies in its ability to evoke emotions while delivering a strong message about the futility and devastating consequences associated with armed conflicts. Ken Welsh's masterful illustration continues to serve as a historical artifact reminding us of past events while urging reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction during times of strife.
