EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Peronne, 3.1.1919" captures the devastating aftermath of World War I in a small French town. Created by artist Ernest Procter, this crayon and gouache on paper artwork depicts the ruins of Glise Saint Jean Baptiste de Peronne, a church that fell victim to bomb damage during the war. Measuring 49.5x31.8 cm, this powerful image showcases the destruction caused by the conflict that ravaged Europe from 1914 to 1918. The remains of the church stand as a solemn reminder of the horrors endured during those years. Procter's involvement with the Friends Ambulance Unit (FAU) in Dunkirk adds another layer of significance to this artwork. As an official artist for this voluntary organization founded by Quakers, he witnessed firsthand the consequences of war and sought to convey its impact through his art. The composition portrays a desolate scene filled with rubble and destroyed architecture, symbolizing not only physical devastation but also loss and human suffering. Through his skilled use of crayon and gouache techniques, Procter brings attention to both individual buildings like Glise Saint Jean Baptiste de Peronne and larger historical events such as World War I. This thought-provoking piece serves as a poignant testament to one chapter in history when nations were torn apart by conflict but also highlights humanity's resilience in rebuilding after destruction.
