World War I

This imaginative landscape is set in World War I which was centred in Europe that started on the 28th of July 1914 and ended on the 11th of November 1918. It shows two men in vulgar and dirt cheap gas masks carefully assembling the machine gun, in order to prepare and assassinate enemies. The two men in the landscape are most likely one of the sacrificial soldiers which are used to gain the enemy's attention first (which they are most likely to kill). This is because the dirt pilings that surround them are not as high as the ones in trenches, therefore not as protective. Also, they are not wearing as much (if any) protective gear a normal World War I soldier would wear. This imaginative landscape can be interpreted as fearful and daunting since the landscape in is black and white, and to the fact that weapons are used, but other individuals might interpret the landscape as full of adventure and thrilling as every person is different, thus interpreting the imaginative landscape differently.
