EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "CARTOON: KULTUR, 1916. Kultur Has Passed Here" is a powerful depiction of the devastating impact of World War I and the concept of "kultur" as portrayed by artist Louis Raemaekers. The cartoon, created in 1916, serves as an anti-German statement during a time when tensions were high. In this thought-provoking image, we see a young boy standing amidst the destruction caused by war. His innocent face reflects both sadness and confusion as he gazes upon the lifeless body of a child nearby. The scene is filled with symbolism, highlighting the horrors and casualties brought about by conflict. Raemaekers' use of "kultur" in his cartoon refers to Germany's belief in its cultural superiority over other nations during that era. By showcasing the aftermath of war through the eyes of an innocent child, he challenges this notion and questions whether such destruction can truly be considered superior or civilized. This artwork also sheds light on discrimination and political action during wartime. It portrays a grieving mother who has lost her child due to war crimes committed under the guise of "kultur". Through this poignant portrayal, Raemaekers urges viewers to question blind patriotism and consider pacifist alternatives for resolving conflicts. Overall, this historic photograph print captures not only the physical devastation caused by World War I but also raises important questions about humanity's role in perpetuating violence and discrimination.
