Paris Almanac, 1897: Back Cover is a 1897 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a woman’s face crushed under a pile of people. One person holds a banner that says "Paris Almanac 1897." The scene looks chaotic, with smoke in the background and a building in the distance. The crushed woman’s face is exaggerated, almost like a symbol. The year "1897" suggests this might be about a specific event or publication. If you like bold political art, check out Realism for more examples of this style.
Louis-Auguste Lepère (30 November 1849 – 20 November 1918) was a French painter and etcher. Lepère is also considered a leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe.
