War Belgian Farmyard — Antique Historical Print

This lithograph belongs to the American realist George Bellows' War Series of 1918, twelve prints and one large painting he made in response to widely publicized reports of German conduct toward Belgian civilians in the opening months of the First World War. Belgian Farmyard sets a scene of wartime violence against the ordinary backdrop of a farm, the kind of place Bellows insisted the war had reached far from any battlefield. Bellows never saw the war firsthand; he worked from newspaper accounts and the 1915 Bryce Report, driven by outrage rather than reportage.
