EDITORS COMMENTS
We Will Civilize those Fellows... with Time" is a striking lithograph by Auguste Raffet, created in 1836-37. The image captures the arrogance and colonial mindset of the 19th century, depicting four French soldiers carrying a man on their backs as if he were a burden to be civilized. The title itself reflects the patronizing attitude towards other countries and cultures that was prevalent during this time.
Raffet's work is a powerful commentary on imperialism and the belief in France's duty to "civilize" other nations through colonization. The group of men in the image exude an air of superiority, with one soldier even pointing forward confidently as they walk.
The black and white lithograph has a timeless quality to it, emphasizing the enduring legacy of colonialism and its impact on societies around the world. The detailed lettering adds depth to the composition, drawing attention to the concept behind the artwork.
Displayed at art galleries such as Art Institute Chicago, this piece serves as a reminder of our shared history and the need for reflection on past attitudes towards different cultures. Raffet's portrayal of this scene challenges viewers to consider how notions of civilization have been used to justify oppressive actions throughout history.
