In 1907, the Lumiere brothers patented the autochrome process to create the first color photographs. This technique was used by Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud, Chief of the Photography and Cinematography Organization of the French Army, to capture the first real color photographs of the First World War (1914 - 1918).

These photographs and the works of photographers Frank Hurley and Hubert Wilkens were the inspiration for this piece. WARNING: Although much discretion was used, several images depicting the horror of war were utilized which some might find offensive.

This piece is dedicated to all the victims of all the wars. To learn more, visit: http://www.greatwar.nl/ (less info)
