The Torment of Drought - Desperation in the Provinces of Argentina
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the devastating impact of drought on the provinces of Argentina, far from the life-giving waters of its great rivers. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness a scene that speaks volumes about human suffering and resilience. Whole populations, driven to exasperation by unquenchable thirst, have resorted to desperate measures. As tank-trains arrive to distribute water supplies, men and women alike attack these lifelines with fervor. They seize control of the tanks and empty them tumultuously, their actions born out of sheer desperation. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on February 16th, 1941 depicts a moment where survival instincts override reason. The people are rioting against their own dire circumstances as they fight for every precious drop that could mean life or death. The image highlights not only the physical torment caused by drought but also the emotional toll it takes on individuals and communities. It showcases how extreme weather conditions can push humanity to its limits and force us into acts we never thought possible. Through this artwork, Beltrame reminds us of our vulnerability in the face of nature's wrath while shedding light on our innate will to survive. It serves as a poignant reminder that access to clean water is not just a basic necessity but an essential human right that should be protected at all costs.
