Magnifique, tu as une idée du contexte ?
Pas facile, j’ai trouvé ca en commentaire d’une autre oeuvre. Clairement celles ci dessus appartiennent a cette serie (celles avec les boches, celle avec la femme au sein coupé (l’oeuvre s’appelle la cigarette))
The print belongs to his War Series, a response to published reports of atrocities committed by the German army begun during the August 1914 invasion of Belgium. Bellows opposed American involvement until he learned details of those events. He insisted that the series was addressed to those who committed the atrocities (and not the German people more generally), writing that "against that guilty clique and all its tools, who organized and let loose upon innocence every diabolical device and insane instinct, my hatred goes forth, together with my profound reverence for the victims."
