2018.33.62.1: Millions of children died and some were even buried
PrintsAt center top, rendered in sketched lines and washes of black ink, a line of children stand facing away from us, side by side in a line. They are naked and malnourished with outlines of ribs visible. Closer to us at center, a soldier walks past them to the right, holding the body of an infant in one hand. In the foreground at lower left, a man holds up in front of him a pale gaunt child, its limbs hanging limply. At right is a column of individual portraits in framed boxes, of the disfigured faces of three lifeless children. The number one appears at upper left.
