George Clausen: Making Guns - Turning A Big Gun
In George Clausen's lithograph Turning a Big Gun, the sheer magnitude of the armaments being manufactured is striking, juxtaposed against the diminutive figure of a nearby worker. Clausen's attention to detail reflects the accuracy seen in contemporary photographs of weaponry. During World War I, artillery emerged as a formidable force, employed for besieging towns and contributing to the entrenched stalemate of trench warfare. Clausen's art exposes the escalating arms race, highlighting the belief in the overwhelming power of these weapons as key to victory.
