Belgian farmyard
1918
George Bellows created this haunting lithograph in 1918 as part of his series depicting the atrocities of World War I, specifically the German invasion of Belgium. The scene shows a soldier discovering a body in a dark, ravaged farmyard, capturing the grim reality of war rather than its glory. Surprisingly, Bellows never actually visited the front lines; he created these powerful images based on reports and his own imagination, proving that art doesn't always need a front-row seat to tell a devastating truth.
