EDITORS COMMENTS
The Meal (First Constitution); Die Mahlzeit (Erste Fassung), 1920" is a captivating oil painting by Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz. The artwork, measuring 73x119.5 cm, depicts a small group of people gathered around a table in what appears to be a modest interior setting. The scene portrays the hardships and poverty faced by these individuals during the early 20th century. A mature man sits at the head of the table, surrounded by women and another man. Their expressions reveal hunger and weariness as they engage in their mealtime ritual. Egger-Lienz's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of kitchenware and cutlery on the table, emphasizing the stark reality of their destitution. The composition highlights social issues prevalent during that era, shedding light on themes such as oppression and class struggle. Despite their circumstances, there is an air of resilience among these figures. They are actively engaged in conversation while sharing what little food they have. This portrayal speaks volumes about human strength amidst adversity. Through this powerful piece of fine art, Egger-Lienz offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of those living in poverty-stricken conditions during that time period. It serves as both social commentary and an exploration of human perseverance. This print from Fine Art Finder captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate Egger-Lienz's masterful brushwork even today.
