EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos of World War II, a moment of eerie calm is captured in this haunting watercolor piece by Alex Colville. 'A German Flare Goes Up, 1944' depicts a lone soldier standing on the coast, illuminated only by the soft glow of a flare that has been released into the night sky. The stark contrast between the darkness and the warm light creates an otherworldly atmosphere, as if time itself has stood still.
The Canadian artist's use of muted colors and subtle shading adds to the sense of desolation and isolation felt by those living through this tumultuous period in history. The figure in the foreground appears small and vulnerable against the vast expanse of sea and sky, underscoring both his fragility and bravery.
This poignant scene serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and its impact on individuals caught up in its midst. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are transported to a moment suspended in time - one that speaks to our shared humanity amidst conflict.
