THEOPHILE ALEXANDRE STEINLEN. Mobilization or La Marseillaise

THEOPHILE ALEXANDRE STEINLEN. Mobilization or La Marseillaise. Artist: Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (French (born Switzerland), Lausanne 1859-1923 Paris). Dimensions: Plate: 20 15/16 × 16 1/8 in. (53.2 × 41 cm) Sheet: 25 11/16 × 19 11/16 in. (65.2 × 50 cm). Date: 1915. Known primarily for his work in the 1880s and 1890s, Steinlen shifted his subject matter during World War I to the everyday experience of war. In this detailed print, he rendered the mobilization of French ground and sea troops on August 2, 1914. Anticipating Germany's invasion of France, this particular moment gave rise to patriotism--a sentiment captured here in the people's gestures and the many French flags. Expressive lines infused with movement capture the intensity of the event, an effect likely indebted to sketches made from life. The figure of Marianne--a symbol of the French Republic--leads the charge from above. She is a reference to François Rude's 1836 sculpture La Marseillaise (named after the national song) at the Arc du Triomphe, which symbolized collective mobilization for freedom.
