EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1919, titled "Last Euch nichts vormachen, bleibt bei Deutschland" by German artist Wilhelm Levzow, offers a powerful visual commentary on the aftermath of World War I. The poster depicts a Polish man seated atop a border gate, gesturing towards a couple and urging them to go to Poland. Behind him, clouds take shape forming an image of a man enjoying an abundance of food. The message conveyed through this artwork is clear: "Don't be fooled, stay with Germany". The couple depicted in the scene walks past the Polish man on the German side of the border. The man's arm is raised as if shielding himself from the enticing image behind him. Levzow skillfully captures both the physical and symbolic divide between Germany and Poland after the war. Through his use of imagery and text, he encourages Germans not to be swayed by promises or illusions elsewhere but instead remain loyal to their own country. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of post-war tensions and nationalistic sentiments that were prevalent during this time period. It also highlights how art can be used as a medium for social commentary and political persuasion. Overall, Levzow's work invites viewers to reflect upon loyalty, identity, and patriotism in times of uncertainty – themes that continue to resonate today.
