Toujours pacifiste? la guerre t'a pourtant reussi! is a 1924 by Hermann-Paul, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows three people in a stark, black-and-white scene. On the left, a man in a long coat and cap stands with his hands in his pockets, looking down. In the center, a woman sits on a bench or cart, holding a baby wrapped in a blanket. To the right, another woman in a long coat and hat leans over the seated woman, her face turned away. The background has two empty picture frames, adding a strange, quiet feel. The artist used strong lines and shadows to make the scene feel tense. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama.
