Kerr Eby's Refugees
While serving on the war front in France for the U.S. Army, Kerr Eby made drawings which became the basis for later prints. Here, displaced refugees trudge past a line of soldiers. Refugees appeared in Eby's 1936 book War in which he wrote: "I am not a pacifist if it means not to see the necessity of an army and navy in this world as it is and not to thank God for them. . . . There was great beauty in the last war as there is always beauty in human giving, but the beauty was in the giver not in the thing itself." |
