The Internationalists Are to Make the World All One Millennium - (Chaos),
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating wood engraving in black on newsprint created by the renowned 19th-century artist Thomas Nast, presents a thought-provoking and ominous depiction of an impending global cataclysm. This powerful image, published in Harper's Weekly in 1878, captures the turmoil and uncertainty of the international landscape during that era. Nast masterfully employs the use of stark contrasts between light and dark, as well as the chaotic swirls of storm clouds and lightning bolts, to convey a sense of impending doom. At the center of the image, a skull, symbolizing death and the end of an era, floats above a chaotic sea, surrounded by a tumultuous storm. The internationalists, depicted as variously clad figures, are shown in the background, seemingly working in unison to create a new world order. This haunting image reflects the anxiety and uncertainty of the late 19th century, as the world grappled with the complexities of globalization, imperialism, and the shifting balance of power. Nast's use of symbolism and visual storytelling underscores the profound impact of these forces on the world stage, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and reflect the zeitgeist of its time. This wood engraving, now part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and the complexities of the global landscape during a pivotal moment in history.
