About the Item
The painting "Military Joy" offers a poignant testimonial into a moment in history, capturing the spirit of celebration and camaraderie among soldiers of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia in 1914, at the onset of World War I. The scene depicts a festive regiment, likely marking the beginning of their wartime journey. The soldiers, adorned in their blue regimental uniforms, are portrayed engaging in a celebration, perhaps in honor of the ideals they fight for and the alliances they uphold. The figures, particularly those highlighted by the painter, evoke a sense of pride and determination, with some playing music, possibly part of a brass band, adding to the atmosphere of festivity.
Yet, amidst the jubilation, there is a poignant contrast between the individual soldiers and the anonymous crowd blurred in the background. This contrast underscores the personal sacrifices and the collective experience of war. It prompts reflection on the complexities of history, where each side's narrative is composed of individual stories, each with its heroism, tragedies, and sacrifices. The painting captures the paradox of war—a clash of ideals, courage, and human vulnerability.
The absence of the painter's name adds to the mystique of the artwork, leaving room for speculation about the artist behind this evocative portrayal of wartime celebration. With his intense gaze, the flutist's central figure becomes a focal point of a sum of interrogations. His expression, seemingly a blend of determination and apprehension, invites viewers to reflect on the uncertainties and fears faced by those who go to war. It is a haunting reminder of the human cost of conflict, where bravery and mortality intersect on the battlefield.

"Family at the Fairground" by Painter Edgar Kiechle
Located in Pasadena, CA
The oil painting features a family at the fairground stopping by the ice cream stand. An elegant mother hands a treat to one of her three children, while another holds his ice cream, and the last one a red balloon. A couple with a child stands on the left part of the painting, while in the background, men sitting on stools face a cook at a counter. The latter looks down and focuses on preparing food for his clients. The overall impression is joyful and lively, though it looks more like the end of the day because of the dark warm colors used by the artist to depict the scene.
Edgar O. Kiechle was born in 1911. He was a movie illustrator and a painter.
Edgar studied landscape painting with Jean Mannheim, and architecture, and became an excellent watercolorist. After studying at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, he interned with leading architects and designers in the area. He worked at most major studios but his career as an illustrator saw him primarily at the Universal Studio Art department.
In 1933, Edgar joined Lwerks as a background artist and worked on many films produced by Animated Picture Corporation through 1935.
In the summer of 1941, Edgar Kiechle...
