Monument "Les fantômes" de Paul Landowski

Description

Para conmemorar la contraofensiva que condujo a los Aliados a la victoria en 1918, el gobierno francés encargó a Paul Landowski, escultor francés de origen polaco (1875-1961), la construcción de un extraordinario monumento en el mismo lugar donde se decidió el destino de la Segunda Batalla del Marne.
Cabría esperar una obra que glorificara las acciones de los ejércitos aliados, pero no es el caso.
Muy influido por el pacifismo de los años treinta, Landowski representa "fantasmas": siete soldados muertos, con la mirada perdida y vestidos con los diversos uniformes de los cuerpos del ejército francés.
En medio de ellos aparece la figura desnuda de un héroe mártir, recordatorio del sufrimiento de los hombres lanzados a la guerra.
