This 1916 poster advertises an exhibition of war works by Henry de Groux, a Belgian-born painter who had settled in France. Its French text places the show within the wartime output of an artist whose subject was the suffering of Belgium after the German invasion of 1914. Posters like this were printed to draw crowds to exhibitions during the war, when artists often shifted their work toward patriotic and anti-German themes. The poster is worth noticing for its lettering and how it signals the artist's reputation for dramatic, emotional imagery, a reputation de Groux had already built well before the war.
