WW 209
La Danza Macabra Europea was a series of postcards published in Italy from October 1914 until the first months of 1916, by the publisher Longo of Treviso. It is almost impossible today to find a complete set of these cards, (the original molds were destroyed) because they were produced mainly for the front line soldiers. The title "European Dance Macabre", assigned to the "hallucinatory colored lithographs" recalls the medieval theme of memento mori, passed in preaching and artistic performance after the terrible plague in Europe that killed millions; but the series of Martini "plunges us into a miasma" universe where the destruction is combined with the exhumation and the dead interact with the zombies. " The aim of Alberto Martini, almost unique in all of his artistic career, he was able to denounce and disclose between the Allied forces and among the soldiers at the front, with an easy means like the picture postcard in color, the horrors committed during the war by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially against the neutral Belgium, often symbolized by a child with severed hands.

WW 209 The postcards, from the careful sudden and highly irreverent content, of fillers symbols and references to facts and characters, with brighter shades, have a decidedly macabre background and affect your attention to the ferocious and biting of the graphic design. With lime captions in Italian and French, these little reassuring postcards, printed 450,000 copies, had great publishing success and were sent between 1914 and 1916 a bit 'all over Europe, but mainly sent to the front, raising awareness Italian and international on the war atrocities, with the massacre of soldiers and civilians, constituted a real European dance macabre. An extremely rare set. I have 18 cards. M
Alberto Martini (Oderzo Milan 1876- 1954) was a painter, engraver, lithographer, illustrator and graphic designer (bookplates, business cards). His first drawing teacher was his father Giorgio, which reproduced the old masters and taught at the Technical Institute of Treviso. In 1897, at age 21, he participated for the first time at the Venice Biennale with the cycle of drawings "The Court of Miracles", inspired by Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.

WW 209During 1898 he moved to Monaco where he had the opportunity to work for "youth magazines" and "Dekorative Kunst". During World War I he drew five series of postcards called "European Dance Macabre". With his revolt to the grotesque and the macabre sensibility, his works seem more German than Italian. In recent years he concentrated more on painting, and his canvases approached the Surrealist movement, while not being part of. (Source: John Fanelli & Ezio Godoli, Art Nouveau Postcards,.
