More about this artwork

The enchanting artwork titled "When" by Udo Keppler, crafted in 1905, presents a whimsical yet pointed commentary on political and national dynamics of the early 20th century. In this illustrative satire, various national figures are depicted in a comedic struggle atop a colossal globe, their expressions ranging from anger to distress, encapsulating the chaotic scramble for global power and territory.Each character is dressed in traditional attire that caricatures their respective countries, emphasizing the stereotypes and perceptions of the era. The globe below them, partially in shadow, indicates the worldwide impact of their actions and disputes. At the upper edge of the painting, a sword hangs ominously, suggesting the ever-present threat of war that looms over these global interactions.Keppler, known for his incisive political cartoons, uses vibrant colors and dynamic compositions to engage and provoke thought among viewers. "When" stands out as a crafty historical document, reflecting the tensions and power struggles that defined its time.
