A figure with an open mouth and outstretched arms is a common depiction in the visual arts of the 1940s and 1950s. Photo reportages of the atrocities of the battlefields and Picasso’s famous anti-war painting Guernica had changed the image of war forever. Those who wanted to portray war no longer painted heroic soldiers, but the dead and the wounded victims thereof.
