Joffre at Headquarters Chantilly, 1915
1965
A dreamlike fusion of Surrealist imagery and historical reference, this oil and collage work on Masonite conjures the atmosphere of wartime command with an unsettling, disorienting edge characteristic of Maddox's practice. Fragmented visual elements drawn from collage interrupt the painted surface, destabilizing any straightforward narrative of military authority and strategy. The result is a haunting meditation on power, history, and the absurdity of war, filtered through the subversive lens of British Surrealism.
