EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative print by Maurice Neumont, created in 1918. This poster, commissioned by the Union of the Great French Associations Against Enemy Propaganda, commemorates two significant victories for France during World War I: the Battle of the Marne. In this vibrant artwork, Neumont captures the essence of heroism and resistance. The central figure stands tall and defiant, holding a rifle with bayonet fixed, ready to defend his country against any foe. His unwavering determination symbolizes the spirit of all French soldiers who fought valiantly on these battlefields. The color palette chosen by Neumont adds intensity to the scene - fiery reds and oranges dominate, representing both courage and sacrifice. The chaotic background hints at the tumultuous nature of war while emphasizing that victory was hard-fought. "They Shall Not Pass!" refers not only to stopping German advances but also serves as a rallying cry for unity among French citizens. It reminds viewers that their collective strength can overcome any challenge thrown their way. Neumont's artistic prowess shines through in this print as he masterfully combines elements of history and emotion into one striking image. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in World War I and honors their bravery on behalf of France.
