Original Description
Dawn, The 75's Follow Up by Kerr Eby is a poignant lithograph from 1934 that captures the quiet solemnity of a World War I battlefield at daybreak. The artwork, rendered in Eby's signature realist style with subtle tonal variations, depicts a group of exhausted soldiers and their horses emerging from the misty dawn light, evoking both the physical weariness and lingering trauma of war. As a member of the American artistic diaspora who volunteered as a camofleur in WWI, Eby brought firsthand authenticity to his military compositions. This particular piece exemplifies his masterful use of atmosphere and narrative tension, belonging to his acclaimed series documenting wartime experiences. Within American printmaking history, it represents a significant intersection between Reportage Art and early 20th-century Social Realism, standing as an important counterpoint to more triumphal war memorials by capturing war's human cost without glorification. The balanced composition and restrained palette exemplify why Eby became one of America's most collected etchers between the World Wars.
For interior placement, this lithograph would create a powerful focal point in study rooms or executive offices where its contemplative quality can be properly appreciated. The muted earth tones and atmospheric grays pair beautifully with walnut wood furnishings and leather accents, while its 16x21 inch dimensions suit medium-sized walls without overwhelming the space. Consider flanking it with directional gallery lighting to enhance its dramatic tonal range, and position it slightly below eye level to maintain the intimate viewing experience Eby intended. In modern minimalist spaces, its historical gravitas provides warmth and depth, while traditional settings benefit from its period-authentic aesthetic. Avoid hanging near competing artworks—its subtle details demand undivided attention. Thematically, it complements brass desk accessories, vintage military memorabilia (tastefully displayed), or landscape paintings sharing its contemplative mood, creating layered visual storytelling about perseverance and reflection.
