Obstruction against the Anti-Revolution Law
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful political cartoon created by Dutch artist Patrick Kroon during the tumultuous 1920s. This evocative work of art depicts a scene of defiance against the oppressive "Anti-Revolution Law," represented as a menacing dragon. Three social-democratic politicians, Kleerekoper, Duys, and Van de Tempel, are shown in the foreground, each armed with a bomb, ready to hurl them at the beast. The black-and-white drawing, executed in ink and watercolor on paper, is a testament to the artistic skill and political acumen of Kroon. The use of caricature and satire is evident in the exaggerated features of the politicians and the fearsome depiction of the dragon. The mythological creature, with its fiery breath and scales, symbolizes the repressive laws and the threat they pose to the democratic process. This image is a poignant reminder of the political climate in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s, a time of social and political upheaval. The artists of the Low Countries, like Kroon, used their work to express their views on the political landscape and to rally support for their causes. The Rijksmuseum and other art institutions have recognized the historical significance of this work and have included it in their collections as an important piece of Dutch heritage. The scene is a powerful visual representation of the struggle against oppressive laws and the determination of politicians to stand up for their beliefs, even in the face of adversity. The use of mythological creatures and parody adds a layer of depth and complexity to the work, making it a fascinating and thought-provoking addition to any art collection or exhibition.
