War Series: Gott Strafe, England
1918
"Gott Strafe, England" is a lithograph from George Bellows' War Series created during World War I, expressing his anti-German sentiment through the propagandistic German phrase meaning "God punish England." The work exemplifies Bellows' use of the lithographic medium to create dramatic, emotionally charged imagery that conveyed American attitudes toward the conflict. This piece demonstrates how Bellows employed his printmaking skills to engage with contemporary political events and contribute to wartime discourse.
