A smoking war-machine looms over a field of red beside a lone mourner

Fritz Gareis (1883–1956) was a German Expressionist painter who produced some of the most haunting artistic responses to the First World War — dark, allegorical works in which the human cost of the 20th century's first catastrophe is rendered with the full symbolic weight of the Symbolist and Expressionist traditions he inherited. His works sit at the intersection of the war memorial and the philosophical meditation, asking questions about history, suffering, and civilisation that retain their urgency.
