EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting image captured in this colour lithograph, titled Starving Crowds Leaving their Homeland, c.1924 by Georges Carrey, depicts a scene of desperation and despair as impoverished peasants from Russia are forced to flee their birthplace due to starvation and poverty. The artist masterfully conveys the sense of hopelessness and destitution that these refugees must have felt as they walk wearily away from their homeland.
The composition of the print is striking, with a group of weary figures trudging along on foot while an oxen-drawn wagon carries some of their belongings. The stark contrast between the vibrant colours used in the lithograph and the grim subject matter only serves to emphasize the harsh realities faced by these individuals.
This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact that events such as the Russian Revolution had on ordinary people's lives. It highlights not only the physical hardships endured by those who were forced to leave everything behind but also captures the emotional toll that such displacement can take.
As we look at this print, we are reminded of our shared humanity and our responsibility to help those who are less fortunate. It is a testament to both the resilience of those who have suffered and our capacity for empathy towards others in times of crisis.
