EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Dreams of a Russian General" created by the talented artist Kobayashi Kiyochika in 1904 or 1905, we are transported to a moment of profound introspection. The image portrays a Russian general amidst the desolation of ruined gabions, lost in his own thoughts and dreams. With vibrant colors and intricate details, Kiyochika skillfully captures the essence of this scene. The general stands tall, surrounded by remnants of destruction, symbolizing the aftermath of war. His posture exudes both strength and vulnerability as he contemplates surrendering to the Japanese forces. The artist's intention becomes clear as we delve deeper into the narrative depicted within this print. Through his dreamlike state, Kiyochika reveals an inner turmoil experienced by this high-ranking military figure - one plagued with thoughts of disgrace and defeat. This powerful artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even those who hold positions of authority can be haunted by their own insecurities and fears. It prompts us to reflect on the universal nature of human emotions during times of conflict. Quint Lox's curation brings attention to yet another masterpiece from Liszt Collection, showcasing not only historical significance but also artistic brilliance. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to explore themes such as pride, honor, and ultimately confronts us with our shared humanity in moments when dreams turn into nightmares.
