CW: War atrocity
George Bellows
The Germans Arrive, 1918
National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.This blog entry provides the historical context for this horrifying yet masterly picture.
https://mydailyartdisplay.uk/tag/the-germans-arrive-by-george-bellows/
I would add additional observations regarding the atrocity depicted.
As the blogger notes, there was a tendency in the twenties to dismiss this kind o image as just one of the fabrications of allied war propaganda. In more recent years, historians have agreed that the German army did carry out atrocities in Belgium, but the extent, organization, and motivation of these acts are disputed.
We might also see these atrocities in Europe in the context of European imperialism. The Germans were reimporting to Europe the brutalities Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Russia, and, of course, Germany and Belgium themselves had inflicted upon the inhabitants of their empires.
The positioning of the rifles of group on the right suggests that Bellows is making an ironical reference here to "The Surrender of Breda" , commonly known as "The Lances". Goya's depiction of the atrocities in Spain of a century before is another influence at work here.

Text from a dear friend: "This tiny country has divided the world."
My reply: You mean the tiny country of Israel? because Palestine was always there... #Palestine #Israel #history #IsraelHamaswar #HorrorsOfWar -
So few Americans know the history of Palestine and Israel and therefore have no real context in which to understand current events. Also, really important to highlight the fact that Hamas is an extremist organization NOT representative of all Palestinians. Like right-wing MAGA extremists in the U.S. but with violence writ large. #Palestine #Israel #history #IsraelHamaswar #HorrorsOfWar
