Kreuzland, Kreuzland über Alles, 1916 - A Powerful Protest Against German Occupation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Louis Raemaekers' powerful artwork titled "Kreuzland, Kreuzland über Alles" created in 1916 during the tumultuous years of World War I. Raemaekers, a Dutch graphic artist known for his fiercely anti-German cartoons, fearlessly depicted the horrors and suffering inflicted by the German occupation. In this lithograph from his renowned series "The Great War: A Neutrals Indictment" we witness a scene filled with anguish and despair. The image portrays a crowd of refugees seeking refuge from their war-torn homeland. Among them are women, children, and men who have become victims of the brutalities unleashed upon their country. Raemaekers' artistry skillfully conveys the emotional toll that war inflicts on innocent lives. His use of color adds depth to this haunting composition as he highlights both individual stories and collective suffering within a devastated landscape. It is important to note that Raemaekers faced immense danger for his work; he was hunted by the Germans who offered a substantial reward for him dead or alive. Despite being placed on trial under pressure from Germany for endangering Dutch neutrality, he was acquitted but forced to flee to England due to the bounty on his head. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of Raemaekers' artistic brilliance but
