Monument "Les fantômes" de Paul Landowski

Description

Per commemorare la controffensiva che portò gli Alleati alla vittoria nel 1918, il governo francese commissionò a Paul Landowski, scultore francese di origine polacca (1875-1961), la costruzione di uno straordinario monumento proprio nel luogo in cui si decisero le sorti della Seconda battaglia della Marna.
Ci si sarebbe potuti aspettare un'opera che glorificasse le azioni degli eserciti alleati, ma non è così.
Fortemente influenzato dal pacifismo degli anni Trenta, Landowski raffigura dei "fantasmi": sette soldati morti, con lo sguardo assente e vestiti con le varie uniformi dei corpi d'armata francesi.
In mezzo a loro appare la figura nuda di un eroe martire, a ricordare la sofferenza degli uomini gettati in guerra.
