In a series comprising 30 lithographs, Andreas Gering explores, through his art, the lives and experiences of German soldiers during the First World War. The depictions are based on sketches that Gering produced whilst serving at the front and later transformed into prints. The prints document impressions from various theatres of operations and, owing to their direct proximity to the events of the war, possess great historical and cultural significance. A distinctive feature is the precise localisation of many of the depictions through handwritten place names and dates, which allow for a precise contextualisation of the situations depicted.
